Finally...

I was listening to NPR tonight while cooking dinner, when this story came on about DuPont investing 140 million in cellulosic ethanol. It has been driving me crazy that every one is harping on how biofuels are causing the world food crisis, which is a crock. Corn-based biofuels (which are at best carbon neutral) are contributing, but you can make biofuels out of a hell of a lot more than corn! DuPont has apparently recognized this. Hopefully more companies in the commercial sector will jump on the non-food (or food waste) biofuel bandwagon.
