It is no myth that thousands of scientific teams are working feverishly to create biofuels such as ethanol, biodiesel and biobutanol from nonfood plants grown on land unsuitable for food production.

The mayor even set quantitative goals for reducing citywide emissions, such as a seven percent reduction below 1990 levels by 2012, and an 80 percent reduction level below 1990 levels by 2050. For Boston, these uncompromising goals are equal to the global targets set by the United Nations...
