Switch grass

Could switch grass be the answer to our engery needs. Read a forum about it at this website. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2006/02 ... ass_fu.php
I do not think there will ever be an answer to our energy needs until all the energy producing companys figure out how to produce it and run it through thier pumps and meters so we will be at thier mercy as to the cost of it.

The biggest problem with biomass is the lack of bulk density. Low yield for the volume makes frieght cost of raw material a real killer. I would also think that it wouldn't have anything in the way of a usable biproduct.
