The Network for New Energy Choices quotes a new report by Earth Track and Friends of the Earth stating biofuels are being propped up by the Obama administration with our tax dollars to the tune of $420 billion from 2008 through 2022. States NNEC,
The proposed rule includes an accounting gimmick that would discount
ethanol’s greenhouse gas emissions over a 100-year timeframe, a window
that both undercounts the actual volume of emissions and puts off
emission reductions too far into the future. Under this century-long
option proposed by the EPA, corn ethanol’s emissions would be lower
than gasoline, but not until 100 years from now. That’s a strange
proposal from an administration that is spending tremendous amounts of
political capital to make greenhouse gas emission reductions a priority.
Does anyone really think we have 100 years to dally before we address climate change?
