...generous assumptions, soy biodiesel and corn-ethanol plants powered by coal or natural gas actually produced more emissions than gasoline; corn ethanol only passed the stress test (and just barely) when powered by the cleanest possible power. And that analysis assumed it's a good trade-off to accept massive emissions today in exchange for reductions over 30 years, when in fact massive emissions today could help trigger devastating ice melts and other feedback loops that could make reductions over 30 years practically irrelevant...

In addition, 70-ton vehicles simply will not be able to go to as many places in war zone environments such as Afghanistan. Even Chiarelli is willing to accept that. "If you change theaters and go to Afghanistan, I will be the first to admit if you are in the east and going up roads 8,000 to 10,000 feet [in elevation], it would be nice to be able to have a tank or a Bradley with...
