Burn Grass, Get Green Biofuel
Roland Piquepaille writes "Do you want to use an economical and environmentally friendly biofuel? Just grow grass. Burning grass pellets will produce an energy-efficient biofuel, according to Jerry Cherney, a professor of agriculture at Cornell University. In this news release, 'Grass as Fuel,' he says "Burning grass pellets makes sense; after all, it takes 70 days to grow a crop of grass for pellets, but it takes 70 million years to make fossil fuels." Unfortunately, there is nothing like a grass political lobby in Washington, so he might not be heard. But with current oil prices, more and more people will be tempted to use cheaper -- and cleaner -- sources of energy. This overview contains many more details and references about this environmentally friendly biofuel made from grass."
Beings aspergers AND pulling chicks... I enjoy the challenge!

I beg to differ.

So is this burning of grass somehow different from the smoking of grass?
Tommy Chong? Is that what you call yourself now? Trippy, dude...

I joined NORML for a while a decade or two ago, but whichever years it was, they tended to be a bit too stoned to actually keep track of a mailing list :-)

At 20 bucks per gram for fuel, I'd be better off taking the bus.
What does the mower run on?
I, for one, look forward to the new Ford Taurus, which travels down the interstate grazing the median line. At least with this new model, the bovine name DOES make sense!

a grass roots campaign to get this one going.
Roland finially writes a summary himself instead of copying and pasting, then you go and copy and paste it off his blog. Oh the irony.
Why do you feel the need to take his content and re-post it? The information was contained in the article, this seems like a karma-whore tactic.
Yeah, with all these karma-whoring posts I have made over the years, I have developed some killer karma!
Let's start a grass-roots movement!
*duck!*
Well, have you ever seen Roland Piquepaille and Jon Katz in the same room at the same time?
