Company leaders hope the second facility’s completion will spark similar investments.

Scientists are trying to develop ways to get both calories and kilowatts from the same land, but it's not as easy as it might seem.

While more counties and townships passed restrictions in the last year, some states are responding by passing laws making it harder for local governments to say no to wind and solar.
