Energy Designs

Cellulose Ethanol is a very promising and very cool eco village energy commodity. My vision of mobile switch grass ethanol camps networked out in the prairie takes hostage to my thoughts, we regenerate the earth by planting this wild grass and along the figure 8 route the eco village network will build deep small ponds and swale line in keys - dont know what I am talking about? Take a permaculture course. These scientists in ecology told me that if we bring back the prairies we could bring American CO2 levels pre industrial times. The energy farm process goes something like this, you cut the switch grass flowers off before budding, that captured methane will power a fuel cell for a algae bio diesel farm. Then the cellulose waste stock from those grasses is turned into ethanol as well.
