Pimentel has been talking about the technology as it was twenty years ago. I think his opinion is not taking into consideration the advances companies made in efficient production. And new advances in bio-engineered ethanol are producing excellent results using microbe as digestors.

Considering those advances and the price of oil. Lots of biomass makes sense. At $40 oil it does not. Hemp almost makes sense at $40 oil. Law has to change. Has to.
