Perhaps more promising was Bush's call to quintuple U.S. production of biofuels such as corn ethanol by 2017. The proposal is solid--to a point. You can't use biofuels without flex-fuel vehicles, and currently there aren't many out there. Plus, manufacturing ethanol is a messy process: smokestack pollution can offset what you save from tailpipes. An overall carbon cap would fix that, but even a greener Bush won't go there. "You dirty up a clean fuel if you manufacture it dirtily," says Sarah Hessenflow Harper, an Environmental Defense analyst and a former agricultural adviser...
...produce 2.5 billion ourselves. We import 4 billion from the world's worst dictators. We need to stop doing that. We can save 1 billion bbl. through conservation. Things like more efficient cars, homes and appliances. We can produce another 1 billion bbl. of biofuels with agricultural crops like corn, soybeans and canola. We can produce 2 billion bbl. a year turning our enormous coal reserves to clean-burning gas. We can achieve energy independence in 10 years, create a whole new industry with tens of thousands of high-paying jobs, and you'll never have to send your grandchildren...

...Pepper ... and Salt," the small cartoon that has been running for 57 years and that has moved back - apparently due to popular demand - to the Journal's opinion pages. I've always felt uneasy around "Pepper ... and Salt," a bit like I do watching Jay Leno, whose high corn factor and consistent unfunniness make me cringe. But what do I know? America seems to love the guy, along with that little cartoon in the Journal...
...using beer-brewing principles. Says Leipold, "One of the goals was to make a drink for children that didn't have any artificial additives and that followed the purity requirements traditionally used to make beer." That meant a product with natural ingredients only: malt, water, sugar, fruit essences. No corn syrup, nothing artificial. And he'd use the same fermentation process he used to make beer - the trick would be leaving out the alcohol...
