Farmers in Nebraska and the Dakotas brought the U.S. closer to
becoming a biofuel economy, planting huge tracts of land for the first
time with switchgrass?a native North American perennial grass (Panicum
virgatum) that often grows on the borders of cropland naturally?and
proving that it can deliver more than five times more energy than it
takes to grow it.
Like the Gnomes of South Park, they are missing "phase two". Cellulose to
alcohol hasen't been done effectively, yet.
