Re: [ECOLOG-L] Ecosystems and Energy Biofuels Homage to Principle or Deceptive Fraud?

Wayne-   Some variety of switchgrass, for example, is native to much of the lower 48 states. Some huge fraction of land (maybe 90%) enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program utilizes switchgrass (or some other grass with similar characteristics) to control erosion, improve water quality,

Re: [ECOLOG-L] the precautionary principle makes sense and should be applied to GCC arguments

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Thank you for responding to the survey!
