LiveScience is reporting on a fungus that has been discovered in the rain forest that turns cellulose directly into fuel.
Use of high-sugar food crops for fuel helps to drive up prices and clamp down on the amount of food on the market. If we could make fuel from agricultural waste such as stalks and sawdust, then we'd be a lot closer to energy independence without hurting the food supply.
Then the corn could be used for the correct product, instead of fuel.
