BIOFUELS REQUIRE SUPPORTIVE POLICY ENVIRONMENT

摘要

'Indirect Land Use Change'... four words that are killing the renewable fuels industry. Based on fuzzy logic and unproven science, ILUC suggests the simplistic notion that as biofuel crops displace food crops in the U.S., farmers in other parts of the world destroy rainforests to make up the difference. In doing so, this deforestation releases thousands of tons of stored carbon, effectively negating the benefits of biofuels grown in the U.S. Never mind that there is no actual data to prove this with any degree of certainty.
