With the very obvious international security...

Today in Biofuels Opinion: “As long as there are people starving on this planet, fuel sources that directly compete with food supplies are morally flawed.”

From Smoky Mountain News: “Let’s see, automakers can get CAFÉ (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) credits for making gas guzzlers like Chevy’s suburban that can run on ethanol. That way they can rate one of those gas-guzzlers that gets 13 mpg at 23 mpg. Oh, and say goodbye to roasting ears. If we’re gonna get the [...] Today in Biofuels Opinion: “As long as there are...

Calculating CO2 Reductions For Biofuels
