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.

Right so that means it will never work, got it. It's that damned new
technology....

If it worked, they would be doing it. This is not that new. Most of
this biomass research started 35 years ago and they still can't make
it work on any industrial scale in spite of billions of tax dollars
being pumped into it.

Maybe it will work if gasoline gets up to $10 a gallon.

Gee you sound like those who were against the motorcar. And those
farmers who said that the tractor could NEVER take the place of a
workhorse. There were probably cavemen who thought that damned new thing
called fire would never work!
