If they divert enough crop land to biomass instead of food, that's what they will be doing. I'm sure it will pay a lot better than 'taters (unless they figure out how to burn them too and then taters'll cost $10 or $15 a lb. if you decide you want to bake one) what with all the "GREEN" subsidies we will be throwing at them.
