Biofuels Not So Environmentally Friendly After All

Is it any surprise legislation passed in response to concerns about global warming turns out to cause more problems than it solves? Not to me, it isn't. But I think a number of Congresscritters and members of the It's-All-The-Fault-Of-The-Evil-Humans™ cabal just got a rude awakening when two different studies, one by Princeton and Woods Hole Research Center, and the other by the University of Minnesota and the Nature Conservancy, show that biofuels do more harm to the environment than fossil fuels.

A number of factors were overlooked when debate on the aforementioned legislation was taking place. The environmental consequences of biofuel were never studied, something that has no come back to bite Congress in the ass.

So what else is new?
