4. Can anybody use it?  Yes, almost everybody can use Bio-mass because a lot of people and dead organisms in there every day life. http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energy.cfm?page=biomass_home -basics http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energy.cfm?page=biomass_home -basics

5. How does it work?  It works by finding dead plants, garbage, alcohol fuels, wood, crops, and landfill gasses.

6. Waste records  A person in the 1960 produces' 2.7 pounds of trash a day.  Now people produce about 4.5 pounds now.
