Elephant grass ,shoots and leaves

This is an amazing 'discovery' and needs shouting from the rooftops..........
It's simple and world transforming and will ? happen.
Basically biomass growing suffers from inefficiency usually from the processing required to turn it into useful energy.
This stuff grows very quickly, and is suitable for putting directly into a generating plant, more or less, as is.
Apparently putting 10% of land under grass would generate 10% of that country's power.

Why is this BIG NEWS?
Firstly, most first world countries have an over efficient farming industry which creates surpluses.
This requires subsidies to get rid of. Certainly in the cases of the EU and USA this has led to serious disagreements and had been partly responsible for the latest breakdown in talks over the next GATT agreement. [the rest of the world complain that subsidies distort trade amongst the poorer countries- very true]
In the case of the EU, it has created farm produce that is expensive in the shops and takes 30% ? of the EU budget in subsidies to farmers, which in turn has created serious tensions amongst its' members about possible reform.
Secondly, we can have a 'grass cycle' of power generation
Power made this way is CO2 neutral- the grass fixes CO2 from the atmosphere into the plant, then is released on burning.
Thus we have a chance of reducing CO2 emissions of up to the limits of present agricultural excesses [ and if the first world alters it's diet a little or more land comes under agriculture, more]
It would thus slow down Global Warming at a stroke and at little cost.
Thirdly [and related to the above], Kyoto agreement becomes workable, and the USA could quite easily agree to this.

So, we increase Third World wealth, we cut out farm subsidies [ therefore reduce taxes?] , we reduce CO2 emissions and thereby maybe save Bangladesh,New Orleans etc.

ITS WONDERFUL !
