- Abstract
The article discusses the feasibility of producing energy from a plant-based biomass in the U.S. In the aim of aiding the rapidly increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, dwindling fossil fuel reserves, and their rising costs of fuel, it is suggested that research plans to make biomass a source of energy and as a chemical feedstock as part of a sustainable energy economy be accelerated. In the event that biomass is widely implemented, rural communities will be the principal beneficiaries.
