>> A Northern Virginia politician recently....
said using corn to make ethanol is inefficient and mentioned switchgrass as a
better crop, producing "up to 1,000 gallons of ethanol per acre, with the
residue used as biomass in methane generators to produce
electricity."Anyone ever heard of this stuff? Is it like
wheat?>>

CONFERENCE http://www.ppvir.org/pdf/Prospectus.pdf
I found it very informative. The distinction between "cellulosic ethanol"
where more components of the plant are utilized than in traditional corn-based
ethanol manufacturing whare only the starchy corn kernel is used. .
