Our announcement at the 2009 Fuel Ethanol Workshop about the installation of an anaerobic digester at the cellulosic ethanol pilot plant in Scotland generated quite a bit of interest. It was especially gratifying to see blog posts like POET Sets the Standard from Robert Rapier at R-Squared Energy Blog and POET to Use Corn Cobs - Not Natural Gas - to Power Cellulosic Ethanol Plant from Kirsten Korosec at BNET Energy.
As Jeff Broin said in his announcement speech, POET wants to eliminate fossil fuel usage from all of our plants. For anyone who would like to learn more about those efforts, click on the alternative energy tag of this blog, or visit our web site to see what we're doing with co-generation and waste power.

Time and money would be better spent on geothermal.

Mandy,
How do you propose running vehicles on geothermal? Ethanol is used in vehicles today and making a significant dent in imported oil.
