See http://www.daviesand.com/Perspectives/Forest_Products/Ethanol/ These guys want to turn our forests into ethanol for SUVs! BTW, former CIA director Jim Woolsey is now a director of BCI Corporation, which owns the patents for many of the new biomass to ethanol technologies. "Dick" Lugar is a US Senator from Indiana, where they grow a LOT of corn. "Dick" is a wholly owned subsidiary of Archer-Daniels-Midland, which is also very much into ethanol.
