While switchgrass, wood waste and landfill waste may appear more attractive by some as a long term source of energy biomass, we need to be realistic. Cobs are one source of biomass that has enough volume and geographic concentration that it can be used today to produce alcohol fuel at the same plants that are now making ethanol from corn. The cobs will be coming from the same farmers that have been supplying the corn, which solves a major logistical issue.
