Biofuels & Climate Change
In response to the reports in Science Magazine saying that biofuels are worse for the environment than petroleum, the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) has started a new blog, Advanced Biofuels & Climate Change Information Center.
After the Science Magazine articles were published, many who were already critics of biofuels took the opportunity for a fresh round of biofuel-bashing. Many clearly did not read the studies because they sought to dismiss biofuels altogether, which is something the studies (as negative as they are) clearly do not support. This new blog is an attempt to have a more serious discussion around biofuels and climate change while pointing out the technological progress in the ethanol industry.
I've added a permanent link to our blog roll in the right-hand column. Since POET is a member of BIO, I will be occasionally posting to the blog and contributed my first post this morning: No land cleared for biofuels.
Great article over there; Thanks a lot.
