Also, what about that company that is opening up power plants that
are supposed to burn most any biomass into various forms of fuel for
burning.  Supposedly they say every year we throw millions of BTUs of
energy away as chicken scraps, "waste fuel", and other things.

It's one of those things I'm going to have to see first, but evidently
a university in Georgia is running part of their operations on such a
generation plant.
