[...] The power plant, and others like it that combine renewable feedstock with coal, present a new dilemma for green contemplation. The all-investment, all-the-time arm of the green movement believe that we should be throwing money at all viable technologies that could reduce greenhouse gases. So, Vinod Khosla invests up and down the line in ethanol companies because he believes the intermediate steps will help us get to the end goal of 2nd and 3rd generation biofuels that are not as bad as corn-based ethanol.

Ethanol doesn't even make sense if you can make it from cellulosic sources (A big if....)

The same biomass can produce twice the fuel (energetically) in the form of methane instead of ethanol (None of that expensive distilling is needed) and the technology can be found at, let's see, your local landfill!

The best way to displace domestic oil use for transportation is developing PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles), not biofuel.
