Harkin Bill Gives Incentive For Alternative Ethanol Sources
By Mr Ethanol | May 17, 2007
CBS 2 News:
Iowa Democratic Senator Tom Harkin is co-sponsoring a bill that would provide incentive for farmers to produce alternative crops to create the next generation of ethanol, which is now made largely from corn.
Under the Farm-to-Fuel Investment Act, farmers would get help for three years if they switch to producing cellulosic energy crops such as prairie grass instead of corn and other carbohydrate-based crops.
The bill is co-sponsored by Harkin, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar and North Dakota Senator Kent Conrad.
The National Farmers Union is backing the bill, which appears to have bipartisan support.

I think the US will have to compete effectively with Brazil on cellulosic ethanol as well as sugarcane ethanol. The article on Biopact renewed my excitement over cellulosic ethanol, and so I analyzed the business side of this development and how “Brazil’s Biofuel Empire is About to Grow in a Big Way”.
I would love to hear from the enzyme guys on this one.
