Most of what's new is old. Just more improved ways of getting it done. Cattails have loads of starch, Native Americans made bread from the starch. They are amazing toxic cleaners and there are many waste plants that use them to suck up the waste and spit out cleaner water into the oceans. What it's time for is money and investments. Every town in the country should filter their wastes through cattails and the cattails turned into ethanol. Could be done but... politics.

Cattails can make 1500 gallons of ethanol an acre. Desert crops that grow without prodding include pimelon, buffalo gourd, mesquite pods. In Tennessee, they're taking kudzu. Endless possibilities. http://www.alcoholcanbeagas.com?bid=2&aid=CD8&opt= Plenty of others out there just like it.
