Via Yale’s E360, an article about the impact of corporate commitments to buy sustainably-caught seafood. (While you’re there, check out the opinion piece on the ethanol boondoggle.) (Oh yeah, they’ve got a comprehensive Pebble Mine article, too.)
One UN expert thinks it is affecting millions facing starvation. I think ethanol is a fucking joke. So it takes 1.3 gallons of fossil fuel to make a gallon of ethanol, which is oh by the way a much less efficient fuel in the first place? Oh yeah, you need water. Stop forcing ethanol down our throats. We don’t want it. I am, however, a fan of biodiesel, which uses waste cooking oil. The fast food nation is sitting on a gold mine, there. Really, a Fry Daddy gold mine.
