In the case of switchgrass and woodchips and algae there is no use of "cropland". -- "Senate rules don't trump the Constitution" -- http://GreaterVoice.org/60

If this rig dramatically increases the amount of electricity per unit of natural gas then it is worth consideration just for the economics. It should also reduce the amount of carbon emitted per unit of electrical energy generated.
