I’ve been Posting on non-food-crop biofuels for a spell. And chuckling over the dweebs who’ve been so easily sucked into “the horror of ethanol” by the combined machinations of Oil Patch flunkies and Luddites.

The additional benefit of cellulose-based segments of the quotient is removing all the delight of “traditional” American factory farming – from tons of nitrogen and phosphates pumped into the soil to constant thrashing of soil surface to assist those subsidized margins.

Good news that all that’s really needed at this point is building the facility [the first one] and ramping up production.
