Caption: In discussing the slide above, Somerville pointed out that the nation's future energy corps will be grown in every region of the nation. Cellulosic ethanol processing plants will also be constructed in all regions of the nation to be easily accessible to growers of energy crops. Unlocking the key to more efficient cellulosic ethanol production will transition the nation's energy production for transportation fuels to farms and forests in the U.S. and away from foreign oil fields.
