This same kind of pelletization can be done with corn cellulose waste (cobs, husks, stalks) and used to fuel the distillation process for ethanol, further reducing the energy footprint for that alternative fuel. When you think of the billions of tons of yard waste that could be pulped and pelletized instead of going into landfills, this becomes an even more attractive way to wean ourselves from the Arab tit.

Amen to that!
Of course, I'm a bit biased having a sister-in-law that a plant science
professor (specialities in molecular biology of corn/maize).
