Abstract: Proposed production of synthetic fuels from coal and biomass resources in the Midwestern U.S.A. raises important land use policy issues. These include agricultural lands protection; types of biomass development; equity for local communities; and government's role in land use and energy policy. Institutions that can address the central issues are lacking, and methods of planning for the land use impacts of energy development need to be improved.
