Almost all biofuels used today cause more greenhouse gas emissions
than conventional fuels if the full emissions costs of producing these
"green" fuels are taken into account, two studies being published
Thursday have concluded.


A few years ago I saw a study which showed that it costs the equivalent
energy of 1.26 gallons of of oil to make 1.0 gallons of ethanol.. This
study was immediately denied by the tree huggers and it disappeared
quickly.

Perhaps it was the same article that identified the REAL beneficiary
of the biofuels movement was Archer Daniels Midland, the agri-business
megalopoly. Didn't see any denials from the huggers.... /mark
