Apparently "The Uni of Illinois reckons if it planted 8% of the state's land area with Miscanthus grass, burning the resulting dried fibre could generate enough electricty for the entire state." Of course there is not a huge population density there, as 8% of Irish land would only supply 33% of Eirean needs. Still it's better than petroleum.
