Agreed, but a win is a win, for the time being. We fight on.

This is a private/personal account, and I'm not a decision-maker... but word on the street is that it's a "no" with a polite and measured "this is a stupid way to try to do education reform" attached to it.

Right! I am an enzyme engineer and tend to think more about single molecule or reaction scale themodynamics than process scale, but I see your point that lignin is currently more problem than opportunity. Odds seem good to me of that changing in coming years, if less for energy than for materials.

Biofuel from lignocellulosic waste makes good sense, especially where electrification is not a good option yet (e.g., aviation), but biofuel as primary agricultural product is a poor value proposition.

Use of U.S. Croplands for Biofuels Increases Greenhouse Gases Through Emissions from Land-Use Change
Most prior studies have found that substituting biofuels for gasoline will reduce greenhouse gases because biofuels sequester carbon through the growth of the feedstock. These analyses have failed to ...

Nebula is mostly only relatively high-effort videos from career creators. Some creators post only to Nebula, most post early or extras. There are no ads and videos are censored for copyright and content much less. Of course the selection is less but the quality is better. Overall worth it imo!

There's overestimating small proportions and then there's "more than one in every five American adults is transgender." I feel like there's got to be more going on there than a neutral overestimation bias, no? That is a truly insane estimate.
