I’m interested in the nutrient cycle, and this does not sustain it. Go read “The Bottomless Well” and you will see how ridiculous it is to grow crops for fuel. I’m for nuclear energy and electric transportation. Solves the whole terrorist and global warming problems. Can we safely get rid of the waste? To think that we can’t questions the ingenuity of man. Try not to think so small Ben.

Zeachem says they can do it for $1/Gallon. So Why isn’t Mascoma producing Cellulosic Ethanol Yet? I don’t trust them. I think they are diliberately holding off producing Cellulosic Ethanol so they can get a Big Fat Obama Wedding/Bailout. I think this could be Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac/ACORN Toxic Loans all over again. Another $Trillion Bank robbery from the Taxpayers. And Some people in the media were mad at Enron $Billion Bank robbery and now we find out they were involved in Cap and Trade.

Don’t hear much about Ethanol 2.0 anymore, but Mascoma Corp. claims it’s developed a new process to make processing cellulosic ethanol more efficient. (via Cleantechnica) […]

It’s much better to spare the switchgrasses and paper sludges of the world than to take money out of terrorists pockets and possibly save a few thousand lives. Your brilliant!!

It grows inordinately quickly, and doesn’t need arable land. It also doesn’t possess lignin, which is the tough material in land based plants that has to be broken down before the cellulose in the plants can be utilized. It is very possible that no additional cellulase would be needed if Mascoma used their bactria/yeast to process it, and you could grow as much as you need.

Just before winter, we could collect every piece of plant matter from the land and make it into ethanol. Then, because of the complete loss of humus in the soil, we could spread chemical fertilizer everywhere we harvested just so something might grow again. Then we’ll just do it again next year.
