Let's burn our food for fuel, and eat our wood for food.
It's so simple -- why has no one thought of this before?

Nothing new. During WWII there was talk of making a substitute sugar from wood.
I remember seeing a cartoon strip in which a waitress offers a soldier sugar for his coffee. He says..”No thanks! I’ll just cut a chunk out of the table leg.”

I know the geniuses of the academic world would never think of it, but they could make great strides forward by not making ethanol from corn but using the corn for food and oil for fuel. But, it is a really complex thought that may be beyond their mental capabilities.... they are only tenured professors!
