...every acre of land planted with an energy crop - like corn or switchgrass - turning that biomass into electricity gives you more "miles per acre" than converting it to liquid ethanol, which is how biomass is used today, according to the study. A small SUV powered by bioelectricity could travel nearly 14,000 miles on the energy produced by an acre of switchgrass, while an ethanol-powered SUV could go only 9,000 miles. "It looks like converting biomass to electricity, instead of using it to make ethanol, makes the most sense for both transport and the climate," says Elliott Campbell...

...Gist: In its 10th annual report on air quality in the United States, the American Lung Association monitored sites across the nation from 2005 to 2007 in terms of ozone and particle pollution. Particle pollution, the lesser known of the two, refers to a mix of tiny solid and liquid particles (of varying sizes) in the air. The particles are visible only in the haze and smog we see but hard to keep out of our bodies because of their minuteness. The study describes, in part, how cities and counties fare when measured against EPA ozone pollution standards imposed...
