I have a very good friend doing research at Max Planck in Tugingen - brain not biomass but without question Max Planck is seriously at the top of the game.
I did read the Nature article - it was pretty impressive. I can understand pjk's reluctance about biomass energies and concerns relative to exchanging waste of one resource (petrol) for waste of another - but, I'm rather encouraged and quite pleased that at least those who are exploring alternative sources of fuel are recognizing two things:
(1) a petroleum based culture will not surive forever and it's in our economic interests to be on the lead of finding new ways to do the same thing, and
(2) going back to a 'better time' isn't part of their thinking. This is a forward looking group that seems to recognize some of the constraints put on the formulas.
