There is a tremendous ammount of heat in ag waste, prairie grass, even
garbage. The only reason not to use it is more convenient, cheaper
fuel.
Economics will eventually determine what happens to this resource.


Rising fuel costs will DECREASE the value of ag waste, not increase it.

Are you saying that the heat value of ag residue will decrease as the heat
value of petro increases? I understand that the cost of transporting bulk
ag waste is very high but do you not believe that increasing in intrinsic
value of heat will not drive innovation?

Other than increasing the transportation costs, can you expand on your
comment?
