Thumbs up Switchgrass

This looks promising:

It looks like a good deal to me. Now if they'd come along with their cellulose to ethanol technology, we would all be further ahead. Plus, off topic, the switchgrass would probably make excellent habitat for certain species of birds that I like to hunt....

Comments?

Old news, they have been working with that for many years. The trick is converting the cellulose to alcohol etc.
