WSJ jumps on renewable energy bandwagon

Yes even the WSJ. Not in an editorial, but reporting a new RAND report soon to be released: Renewable Fuels May Provide 25% of U.S. Energy by 2025 - WSJ.com. I learned something new from this. The forested areas in industrialized countries are actually INCREASING. And the study further finds that renewable fuels like ethanol and biodiesel are a cheaper way to reduce net carbon emissions than mandating more carbon reducing technlogies on old coal plants for example. It totally makes sense. increase the percentage of your fuels that come closed loop, no net new carbons. Reduce the digging up of old dinasaurs in various stages of decay and releasing their carbon without off-set into the atmosphere. Hey, there is an idea....
