Re: Oklahoma: world's largest switchgrass farm to be planted this spring

Thanks Ron.. Good news. I stumbled upon the funniest set of videos about biofuels.

While I don't agree with congress mandating higher economy. (that should still be a choice) I do like the support of ethanol and their push to mandate E85 pumps. but I'll take the good with the bad... as long as I can get my E85 since I have maximized the tuning so I get 27mpg on E85 from my normal 30 MPG on straight gas. 10% loss that's a win!! oh and 25 more horsepower!!!!!!!


Check these out. Be cautious adult content.
forgive me if they are not in order. but they are funny. and proof there is support...

Re: Oklahoma: world's largest switchgrass farm to be planted this spring

just to dust-off a bit this topic but I wonder what kind of plants, where ethanol could be extracted, who could grow without too much difficulties in a aera where soil is pretty poor, rocky and alkaline?

I've casually read that the "creosote bush" I saw in Arizona and southern California has potential but I have never looked into it.
