I know out here at least the cellulose conversion has proven to be not cost effective.

This being a huge agricultural area, there were several plants contemplated to use farm waste & one or two possibly built. Believe it was found the cost of gathering up crop waste and transporting to the plants turned out to be quite high compared to the old disposal methods. Coupled with the cost of the actual conversion process and now a water shortage where acres of land have been forced to be left empty, the waste supply has diminished considerably to boot. I believe the entire project is currently sort of in limbo.
