"But scientists and several companies are working with the creatures to convert wood, corn stalks and other plant waste into sugars" That would go a long way towards using ethanol as an energy source. Hopefully, they focus on something like switchgrass, which is highly productive per unworked acre, than stuff like corn, which requires a lot of care, pesticides and attention. Now converting all that excess biomass from normal farm production would be fine. I just don't want to see a high quality drop grow strictly for this.
