Ecolog (with special thanks to Cliff Duke): It appears that the official ESA policy can be summed up as follows:
"Taken together, these three principles - systems thinking, conservation of ecosystem services, and scale alignment - can create a sustainable biofuels infrastructure that will serve U.S. citizens, the economy, and the environment. http://www.esa.org/pao/policyStatements/Statements/biofuel.php "Adopted by the ESA Governing Board, January 2008. "The Ecological Society of America is the country's primary professional organization of ecologists, representing 10,000 scientists in the United States and around the world. Since its founding in 1915, ESA has pursued the promotion of the responsible application of ecological principles to the solution of environmental problems through ESA reports, journals, research, and expert testimony to Congress. For more information about the Society and its activities, visit the ESA website at http://www.esa.org."; I'd be interested in any comments regarding this policy.
