More bad science re: biofuels
Remember the biginning of the the fight with big Tobacco about the harmfulness of cigarettes? Remember the flood of "science" that claimed cigarettes were not so bad for you, created lots of jobs, had global warming benefits, etc.? One of the first tools in an entrenched monopoly business that is selling a product that kills you is to use it's vast wealth to try and convince the public that their product really isn't that bad. Tool 1a is to spend some of that money to convince us that the alternatives are just as bad or worse. That is what we are starting to see around biofuels. Like this British report. Hey, sure biofuels aren't a silver bullet and yea sure we need to address the vehicle design, hybrids, etc. But come on, you are trying to tell me that a renewable carbon neutral source of fuel is worse that non-renewable dead dinosaurs? Get real.
