Feds Play Spin the Bottle with Bio Fuels, Now ‘Worse than Gasoline’
When you live by lack of empirical scientific inquiry, you die by lack of empirical scientific inquiry. Case in point: one of the so-called alternative fuels touted by green freaks are bio fuels--making fuel from corn. A few years ago the federal Energy Department's Argonne National Laboratory claimed "biofuels made with corn residue were 95 percent better than gasoline in greenhouse gas emissions." Now? A new study published yesterday in the journal Nature Climate Change, funded by the same federal government, says bio fuels are "worse than gasoline for global warming," at least in the "short term."
Of course the underlying research isn't even real research--it's the new lazy way of doing research by using "calculations" and scientific hocus pocus. It's a "best guess" as to whether something is or is not better than good old fossil fuels.
