This book explores the possibility that the ecology and economy of
the Plains region (and similar regions) would benefit from the
introduction of perennial biomass crops. Biomass production and
processing on the Plains (possibly aided by genetic engineering)
would partially restore a perennial vegetative cover and create new
employment opportunities. Biomass also offers a means of reducing
fossil fuel use, providing fuel to local power plants and a
feedstock for production of cellulosic ethanol, a gasoline
substitute. Interest in biofuels is growing rapidly in public,
political and business circles with rising fossil fuel prices and
because of a growing recognition of the need for energy
independence in petroleum importing countries.
