Those articles talking about feeding the sludge to animals sounds
agricultural to me. Two of the 3 were talking about the dream of
cellulose conversion, which they have not actually been able to do and
the last is just a puff piece from a lobbying organization and it is
still talking about better crop yields (agricultural) and biomass.

If this is such a great process, why does the government have to
subsidize every gallon by 60-70 cents?


Haven't been able to do????? Really?? Come on now, you used to be
reasonable.


They do not have ONE biomass ethanol plant in the US operating
successfully on a commercial scale.

Oh, and probably the same reason why the government has to
subsidize the crops that YOU and everyone eats.


The reason they do that is simply more corporate welfare. I would
applaud stopping that tomorrow.


What happend to the notion that O'Bama wants to dip into the pockets of
the rich? Seems like he's giving them money at the expense of us poor folks.
