Most of what that article calls ethanol doesn't come from consumable food, btw. I think he's a little optimistic, but I hope I'm wrong.

Cellulosic ethanol can come from many forms of organic matter. They really are making some amazing claims about it. I heard that there is a plant being built somewhere in the southern US (I think) that is going to be using this process. Very hopeful thinking, and I'd like to see it come true.
