Grass as a heat Source - Alternative energy!
The Hudson River Valley has considerable acreage of underused and underutilized agricultural land much of which is reverting to shrubby growth or woodland. Select species of grasses (for example, switchgrass) could be grown on some of this land, processed and used for heat. Grass pellets have great potential as a low tech, small scale, environmentally friendly, renewable energy system that can be locally produced, locally processed and locally consumed.
