That's been our experience as well. The process of putting together the 
grant application spurred us to do some worthwhile thinking about how 
we're approaching the challenge of converting biomass into fuel, but 
after reading the commentary from the review committee, I came away with 
the impression that they weren't ready to seriously consider any 
non-traditional utilization routes.

If someone is looking to convert, say, beetle killed trees into fence 
posts, that's something they can envision; converting forest waste to 
liquid fuels, not so much.
