Reply #4: This study is going to generate lots of magical thinking.

These grasses have "not emerged" as an energy source. On the contrary, there is a study by a postdoc that suggests the could be a source of energy. But they are not a source of energy.

There is zero evidence that they will be available on a significant scale in any time frame that involves climate change, which is happening now.

One of the big problems with concepts like this is that people cannot wait to over represent what they say. This doesn't actually produce energy so much as it produces complacency.
