That's exactly the thinking behind the push to develop cellulosic ethanol from the waste plant switchgrass, which grows throughout the Midwestern prairies, with little input from farmers. Instead of fuel from food, switchgrass cellulosic ethanol promises fuel from virtually nothing - and a new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) argues that it's worth making the switch...
