But there's still a long way to go before you'll be able to fill your tank with switchgrass. Getting energy out of the tough cellulose molecules in a stalk of switchgrass is much more difficult than distilling it from corn, or better, sugar cane. Both the Department of Energy (DoE) and private companies...

And though I hope that stem-cell research will yield untold benefits, my excitement is muted - perhaps because I was a research chemist for more than 40 years. Only when we see giant corporations risk their own dollars to support the research will we see progress. Joseph K. Valaitis, Brecksville, Ohio...
