By "article", you mean "marketing blub from someone trying to sell you something".

Ultimately, all of those "sustainable" feedstocks will have to be grown. As my quick maths points out, the size of the field we're going to need is just staggering.

I'd like to know where from. Actually, I looked it up. It's the "Billion Tonne Plan". It involves "thinning" all US forests, and planting practically every available acre with crops for biofuel. Basically, dedicating all of the available plant matter grown in the US to burning for transportation.
