A Toast! (27)
Toast to biofuels! Apparently, they aren’t as cool as we thought they were:
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.
The benefits of biofuels have come under increasing attack in recent months, as scientists took a closer look at the global environmental cost of their production. These latest studies, published in the prestigious journal Science, are likely to add to the controversy.
These studies for the first time take a detailed, comprehensive look at the emissions effects of the huge amount of natural land that is being converted to cropland globally to support biofuels development.
To Michael Mukasey, Attorney General, who just testified before the House Judiciary Committee that water boarding is legal. Omigawd, I hate you guys so much.
To this dude, for being a complete smart-ass. I approve:
He wasn’t dressed like a police officer, but his message came straight from the police department: “Don’t run red lights.”
Officer Patrick Rice with the Grand Junction Police Department spent two hours Thursday on the corner of 12th Street and North Avenue in Grand Junction holding the sign. He was dressed more like a homeless person or a war protestor, but drivers who paid attention to his sign saved them themselves a ticket. The sign had one more sentence, it said “My partners are waiting.”
