  Need to see this everywhere in the US

  As an American university student living and working in Germany for the summer, I am loving being able to ride my bike everywhere.  Not only do I not need to worry about paying all of the expenses associated with a car, it is also a little guaranteed exercise every day.  3 minute ride to the grocery store, 5 minutes to the downtown in the town I live in, 15 minutes to work, its great.  

  If you need to go to a bigger city, ride the bike to the train station and hop on the train (you can even bring your bike on the train if you want and it doesn't cost anything extra).  3 weeks ago I hit up Leipzig, yesterday was Dresden which was just 10 Euros total (15ish dollars) for a 1.5 hr train ride each way.  Wish life was so simple in the US.On Yes we can!

  somewhat

  For most of those projects, yes, they are initially depending on government funding to get off the ground.  One of them comes to mind however which is receiving nothing.

  Cellulosic Ethanol links

  Here are a few links to cellulosic ethanol plants which are either in development or already in operation.  Each link is to a different project.
