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."

Reposting his content is not needed and dishonest (how would YOU like someone to steal your work after all). It definitely isn't fair-use.

I agree with you, and don't think the GP post is justified. Nonetheless, the tactics you rightfully condemn the GP poster for are the same that Roland Piquepaille uses. He doesn't want Slashdot to get less money, he wants Piquepaille to get less money.
