The Northwest has a comparative advantage in two areas – growing grain and forests. Any attempt to creating a biofuel industry without being deeply involved with farmers or lumbermen would clearly fail. Any attempt of not fully being engaged within the marketing of biofuels and its co-products would add failure as well. That is why the growth of the biofuel industry must be a systematic approach. Politicians must understand this. An economy cannot expand without clearing out the roadblocks that are in the way.
