                  In addition, the agricultural resources of the midwestern part of the United

               States  could  provide  crops  and  crop  residues  to  be  used  as  fuel  in  power
               plants. Likewise, logging and wood residues could be used to fire boilers to
               generate electricity. The resulting air pollution would be much less than that
