Scripture
teaches us that God made the earth to inhabited. It also calls for
responsible oversight of land and animals. But just like the Prius is
actually more enviro-disastrous than the Hummer (see our blog here), so we now learn that ethanol ain't the answer to our greenhouse gas blues.
An
international group of researchers has concluded that ethanol and
rapeseed (the most widely used biofuel in Europe), produce far more
greenhouse gases than oil and petroleum. Check out the London Times article on the study here. Though one study scientific fact does not make, the most widely used biofuels continue to fall short of fossil fuels.
As
our brilliant readers should know, many folks with a stake in the
alternative fuels/environmental fight are more than willing to fudge
the facts in order to pocket cash or prestige (see Al Gore). As honest
scientists keep digging, look beyond the hysteria over supposed
man-made global warming and the hype over the next panacea for
greenhouse gas emissions and keep reducing your use.
