Logically, cellulosic material should be usable to create ethanol. This information on switchgrass is quite interesting because of the increased energy component of the final product, when compared to corn.
Clearly deserves more research.

We need to get off foreign oil; all foreign oil. Ehtanol is but one way to help achieve that end. Others include increased drilling in domestic properties, construction of new refineries, and deployment of more solar, wind, hydroelectric and nuclear generation caoacity.

Time for the tree huggers and enviro-whackos to get out of the way.

Logically, we shouldn't be using ethanol for fuel.
