I just heard about some city that is letting farmers grow some kind of grass on public land to be used for bio fuel. It was a radio thing and I didn't catch it all. In fact I might have gotten it all wrong.
Now I'm wondering, are there any new plants that could be grown cheaper than corn and yield a better crop for fuel. Some kind of plant that might grow on crummy land, thus less cost to get to market. Wouldn't it be nice to use those hundreds of thousands of acres that are growing up in brush? I pass a couple thousand acres laying idle on my way to work and I don't drive far. I start at my door with 100 acres that I don't do anything with, except cut a couple times a year.
