I'm not sure that biofuels will be dumped. I ended up taking a closer look at that study, and saw some things I think the authors may be incorrect over. First off the presumption was that a lot of unused arable land would be changed over to alcohol production. If the land is currently being used for some agricultural purposes, that sort of negates the extra carbon release hypothesis.
Secondly the authors assumed that the main source of ethanol would be corn. They, entirely discount other forms of alcohol production like sugar beets, saw grass, agrcultural waste (ie wheat chaff, corn stalks etc), wood waste etc. so it was a very narrowly focused study, something that the media did not really pick up on. larry >Bye bye biofuels. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:253919 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
