Couldn't agree more with the headline and the study apparently points out that renewable fuel policies need to look at the lifecycle GHG emissions.
This is a great resource with links to much of the current back and forth on GHG emissions from indirect land use change from biofuels.
This is a very thoughtful op-ed by one of the preminent thinkers about low carbon fuels and policies to advance them.
As usual, Cai Steger stiches things together in a helpful way. This time talking about the importance of CHP to reducing the cost and GHG emissions from ethanol production.
Very funny spoof ad. Highly recommend this.
Don't know how I missed this when it first aired on Oct 17, but this is well worth a watch.
Interesting post on the potential role for technological breakthroughs in the energy sector and why policy and deploying what we have now is more important.
This is the second part in a great 2 part article on tar sands. It's a good and substantive discussion of the economic, energy and environmental impacts of this crazy source of oil. Hats off to author Chris Nelder.

Yeah! What Hansen said!
A good op-ed on the potential for compensated deforestation reduction. Ultimately to stop global warming and make technologies such as biofuels sustainable, we need international agreements to build on ideas like this and make keeping rain forests standin
