[RC] better alternative to Corn for ethanol - Spottedracer

Here's a funny fact - gotten from one of the Ag Professors I know:

'Switchgrass - grows very well under harsh conditions, thrives in most soils, 
doesn't need much fertilizer if sown with a low-growing clover, generally 
doesn't need to be reseeded often, can be used as forage and has some value as 
hay. Primarily of interest in Ag & Chem Research - since it has been shown to 
produce more ethanol per pound, than corn.'
