Another day, more optimistic biofuel news

We've got a report here of how plans to upgrade cellulosic ethanol production are just about to happen,

and another one about a breakthrough that will make the production of bacterial butanol biofuel more efficient. Given that corn ethanol is NOT a workable idea, cellulosic ethanol certainly seems the only way to go -- and the fact that it might be producible from corn stover and other types of biomass feedstocks that otherwise go to waste, literally, makes it an attractive option on a lot of levels.

IF it can be commercialized. And competitive -- despite my fondness for nuclear energy, I know that it would take the world several years to adapt to the economic realities of $150 a barrel oil.
