Biofuels, if you can get past the sponsor

I'm not going to post this site in my links list

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/indepth_coverage/science/globalwarming/index.html

because it's pretty lame.

First, it's still labeled the global warming "debate". It's not a debate, though what to do about it is a wide ranging discussion at times.

Second, you're unlikely to see anything about links between the food system and global warming, since much of the content is sponsored by ADM. Greenwashing writ large.

But yesterday's coverage of Steven Chu and colleagues' work at UC Berkeley dealt with a lot of the important questions and questionable dynamics around biofuels (though light on the international ones), and I commend it for your listening.
