WEC Statement 2000, London UK 2000) pointed to the high cost of renewable energy systems, including biomass, solar, and wind, as a barrier to their deployment on a large scale: And that, although their costs have been dropping in recent years, they will not be broadly competitive for many years.

Other plants, in addition to corn and soybeans, can be used to produce liquid fuels. 23. Theoretically anything that burns, such as corn husks, alfalfa stalks and sorghum, can be used to generate electricity. The plants selected by the DOE have favorable environmental qualities, . . .
