OMG- Evan that's really cool. I wonder if this stuff takes off (literally) there might be a chance to keep the older birds in the air and not destined for the bone yard due to fuel consumption.

That is pretty cool. I know one of the growers we buy wetlands and conservation grasses from has been playing around with millet and switchgrass production for fuels.

If an alternative airline fuel can be found, it would have a massive impact across the economy.

I'll be excited when something like this can be produced cheaply on a mass scale and be competitive with oil. Until then, it's just another idea.
