Greg: Wood pellets at $4/bag are 1/3 the cost of gasoline at $4/gallon. That should be sufficient incentive for anyone doing a LOT of driving to consider switching to pellets.
There is also the green aspect of pellets. They are renewable from the biomass all around us and they don't increase the CO2 in the atmosphere. If you burn only the volatile 80% cellulose in the pellets (TLUD), the remaining charcoal/biochar can be tilled into the soil for an additional improvement of the atmosphere AND the soil. This should be enough wino-win to consider greater use of pellets to run cars and trucks. COMMENTS?
