It is cheaper and are co2 neutral, many countries ( in europe ) is already using hay and wood pellets on both home pellet burners and on heating plants. They also use especially hay on power plants. I think it’s just a matter of time before it finds it way to north america, i hope. Oil and coal is not the future.
Home pellet burners is quite normal here.

If this truly is cheaper than coal, why not use it to generate electricity?

How bad are particulates from hay burning wrt wood (at the bad end) and natural gas (at the good end)?

And so consumers can look forward to having a consistent supply of heating materials at consistent prices, and that’s something that you can’t get from fossil fuels. And frankly, that concerns a lot of us, and businesses, because of the unpredictability of that.”

Until wall street gets there grubby hands on it. And like everything else they touch it will turn to gold. For them anyways!
