Biomass Policy Papers:

The Next Generation Farm Bill: Are Traditional Assumptions Obsolete?
   In a word, Yes. Crop production will enhance the environment, energy and income.

Unlocking the benefits of manure regulation
   New manure regulations focus on data collection. Value-added energy projects and efficient management require the same kind of records. Farmers must now decide if record keeping costs or pays.

Ruling Blind: Regulation without Information
   Environmentalists claim that new technologies shouldn’t be used without long-term research. With little data, markets operate efficiently on transparent regulations and brand loyalty.

Definitive Power: The Policy Impact of Definitions
   Conflicts arise on many issues because similar words are defined differently. This paper compares common legal and cultural definitions for similar concepts.

Ineffective, Minus 5 Regulations
   Not all regulations operate the same. Some are transparent while others have enormous costs with little benefit. On a scale from 1 to 10, poorly written regulations often score a minus 5.
