"Corn Stover For Ethanol Production: Potential and
Pitfalls" World Resources Institute, Jan 2009. This study
uses a national agro-environmental production model to
evaluate the environmental and economic impacts of
introducing a market for corn stover to support a
stover-based ethanol industry.

"Finding Balance: Agricultural Residues, Ethanol, and
the Environment" World Resources Institute, December,
2008.
This analysis explores the implications of corn stover harvest
for soil carbon loss, nutrient (nitrogen) pollution, and erosion,
as well as the potential to mitigate those impacts using
available agricultural best management practices (BMPs)
such as reduced tillage intensity and integration of winter
cover crops (WCC) into production rotations.

2007. Examines the feasibility of achieving significant
emissions reductions from the proliferation of biofuels and
concludes that biofuels are not a complete, nor even the
primary, solution to our transport fuel needs.

Juan Enriquez challenges our definition of bioenergy. Oil,
coal, gas and other hydrocarbons are not chemical but
biological products, based on plant matter -- and thus,
growable. Our whole approach to fuel, he argues, needs to
change. TED Video.
