Ethanol Transparency Project

The president of the Agribusiness Council in Washington, D.C. has launched an effort, the Ethanol Transparency Project.

To get politicians to wake up to the problems currently being created by the pursuit of the petroleum-intensive unsustainable biofuel corn ethanol (soil depletion, soil erosion, water depletion, well contamination, etc.) is a great goal and we support his efforts.

We also applaud the efforts of the folks from the San Francisco Post Carbon Outpost who are currently working on a video, The Myths of Biofuels. This video (when it is completed) could be a useful tool for all. You can view the trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OriWEUW_TZI

One of the makers of this video told me recently that they plan on making the video available to the general public - hopefully sometime in September.
