...nearly three times larger than most previous studies; it gave cellulosic ethanol savings 50% higher than nearly all other studies. It based most of its numbers not on what farmers and ethanol producers do now but on what it hopes they will do in 2022, assuming dramatic increases in crop yields and energy efficiency. And after the public comment period, it's fair to assume there will be intense pressure to make the analysis even more sympathetic to farm fuels...
...policy in forcing the Korengal Valley to stop producing timber. It seems extremely foolish to deny people access to jobs and money when the alternative for them is to join the enemy. The same applies to the opium trade. It would be better for Western governments to buy the crop above the black-market price for their pharmaceutical industries, even if it meant stockpiling or perhaps destroying some of the final product. The war cannot be won; the best that can be achieved is for the allies to hold the fort while every attempt is made to give the country...
...every acre of land planted with an energy crop - like corn or switchgrass - turning that biomass into electricity gives you more "miles per acre" than converting it to liquid ethanol, which is how biomass is used today, according to the study. A small SUV powered by bioelectricity could travel nearly 14,000 miles on the energy produced by an acre of switchgrass, while an ethanol-powered SUV could go only 9,000 miles. "It looks like converting biomass to electricity, instead of using it to make ethanol, makes the most sense for both transport and the climate," says Elliott Campbell...
...leaves room for hope that a new batch of heavy hitters will emerge.Harvard’s rotation should have a whole new look next season. Suter has ace potential and Hulse is a workhorse.

Whoever the next captain is would be wise to follow...
Fortunately for the Crimson, the losses of that 2005 class will be less noticeable thanks to a crop of talented upperclassmen waiting in the wings—players like rising seniors Nick Hasselberg, Jon Takamura, J.B. Monu, and Connor Murphy, who will join Hayes in replacing the departed senior starters from the linebacking corps...
