The book investigates the potential for transforming a significant portion of the North American Great Plains into biomass-energy crop production, aiming to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change. It highlights the environmental and economic benefits of such a land use shift, especially in light of increasing greenhouse gas emissions and the likelihood of a drier, warmer climate affecting this crucial agricultural region. The analysis underscores the urgency of addressing global warming and its impacts on one of the world's major breadbaskets.
