Biofuels?

"Turning native ecosystems into .farms. for biofuel crops causes major carbon emissions that worsen the global warming that biofuels are meant to mitigate, according to a new study by the University of Minnesota and the Nature Conservancy. The work will be published in Science later this month and will be posted online Thursday, Feb. 7."

Energy and conservation fads are just as unhelpful as any other type of fad. The reality is that ethanol's role in America's energy future, if it has one, is best minimal. It's not "green".

There is no free lunch in the energy source spectrum, no silver bullets, nothing "too cheap to meter." There is only one solution, the one no one is willing to do, and that's simply to use less power.
