http://www.lockergnome.com/news/2009/05/08/bioelectricity-promises-more-miles-per-acre-than-ethanol/ Just goes to show what happens when one "ass u me"s.... Think about short term annuals "woody stem plants" that grow anywhere....and other inevitables that will burn...ie " refuse".... Then just think about "burning it" for heat capture.... Ok...one wins here.... Next focus on the "batteries....capacitors".... ........................................................ Improving storage....charging time....etc.... Goose gets cooked ..... ........................................................ Next...form the best solar heat generators.... Panels are not efficient...."take forever"....and would cost a fortune to equate....much simpler.... heat capture systems.... ................................................... This slipped by because the questions were never asked.... "By the super educated".... How about American made common sense.....????
