This process would save the farmers fuel and the carbon used for transportation of fuel. Long live the farmers of the world!

Will it crowd out edible feedstock for airable land? Will it create more pollution, particularly NOx pollution, as a result of the supply chain logistics and chemical proceses? I think its great that DOE is undertaking these sorts of projects and I think every breakthrough is a step in the right direction. However, we have to remember its not just about replacing gasoline; its about replacing gasoline with something that solves the problems associated with fossile fuels both in production and consumption.

Then we'd have our "Mr. Fusion" like I've always dreamed of, since 1985. Now if we could only include Garbage and other bio-waste to that equation.
