Default Biofuels Deemed a Greenhouse Threat

Don, ditto. But Wisconsin believes that with the power of positive
thinking, we can turn all the corn into our own little oilwells and tell
the middle east to kiss off.

I've not been getting my royalty check from Wisconsin because of the
bottomless well of profit that is the result of ethanol. Unlike the
checks in Saudi Arabia...

So who is stroking whom? The oil companies, or the tree huggers?

I have no issues with re-using the spent oil from deep fat fryers or
whatever, that's wringing the last penny out of a product. If something
else works, has an actual cost benefit, then people will use it.

Double whammy. More corn for ethanol, less corn for food stocks.

biofuels CAN have a
positive effect on greenhouse gases IF the biofuel is produced
properly. Yes, currently most biofuel production, especially corn-
based ethanol, is NOT produced in a very green way. That does not
mean, however, that biofuels can NEVER be made in an environmentally
positive way.
