First haute couture, now ethanol. Is there nothing Floridians can't do with hurricane debris?:

Instead of throwing tree limbs and other vegetation into landfills following hurricanes, Floridians may be able to turn the debris into ethanol, state Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson said Thursday.

“We are convinced we are the largest biomass producing state in the country. Because of our weather conditions, our rain, we can double and triple our crop in a year,” he said.

Hurricane debris could also be processed for use in cellulosic biomass ethanol production, he said.

I'm so proud we produce more piles of stuff than anybody. Willie Nelson will be jonesing to be our energy czar, but we'll choose Charles freakin' Bronson. He'll beat that biomass into ethanol with his own two fists.
