That website is pure bullshit with regards to using it for fuel, as any decent thermal/fluids engineer like me could tell you. It's a simple matter of energy conversion- plants burn at low temperatures, which means low energy conversion, which means low temperature flame, which means low electrical power output. Also, the fouling from soot etc. would destroy your turban blades in a jiffy. But hey, don't let a little thing called science get in the way of your idiotic dreams.
Which in no way changes my position for legalizing it, but like PETA to the animal rights cause, the legalization lobby would be helped greatly if they stopped making baseless claims like the "burning it for fuel" one.
