...make domestic biodiesel, 3.5 units are gained, giving biodiesel the highest energy balance of any liquid fuel. In 2007 alone, biodiesel's contribution to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions was the equivalent of removing 700,000 passenger vehicles from America's roadways. The U.S. biodiesel industry strongly opposes rain-forest destruction and nonsustainable agricultural practices. Biodiesel increases our renewable-energy supply, adds well-paying, green jobs to the economy and reduces carbons and other emissions. I am proud to work in an industry that addresses these critical issues facing our nation and world. Joe Jobe, CEO, National Biodiesel Board, Jefferson City...

...Amazon deforestation to biofuels, as Mr. Grunwald does. First, suggestions that Brazil is a major culprit in global warming are not supported by scientific facts or reliable statistics. Second, the growth rate of Brazilian emissions has been on the decline primarily because of decreasing rates of Amazon rain-forest deforestation, which is the main source of carbon emissions in Brazil, and increasing use of ethanol fuel. Furthermore, from 1970 to 2005 the use of ethanol in our energy mix has averted the emission of 644 million tons of CO2, the equivalent of Canada's annual emissions. When compared with...
This weekend, the Harold Parker State Forest of North Andover, Mass. will be turned into a Darfur refugee camp. The Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI) and the Feinstein International Center at Tufts University are jointly hosting an educational exercise to simulate the issues surrounding emergency refugee areas in the war-torn state. Participants in the event will create a service plan for the simulation that addresses sanitation, medical care, and transportation routes, according to a press release. Project Manager Sarah Appleby said participants are required to undergo a “two-week-long intensive, didactic training process?...
