Good read.
Ftp: "And that's why conservation needs to become a much bigger part of
the global environment discussion, and soon. Because that's the one
strategy that can start having a meaningful impact immediately. Not in
five years. Not next year. Not even tomorrow. Now.The recent blowback from the rush to biofuels is a perfect example
of what I'm talking about. As reported in a story on National Public
Radio, European Union scientists have checked the latest numbers on
biofuels and have concluded that growing energy is not the way to go.
They're calling for an immediate halt in the EU's crop-to-energy battle
plan.That's not what a lot of politicians want to be hearing, though. For
instance, when anti-biofuel protesters confronted one European official
in the NPR report, he responded petulantly, "What's your solution?"Another protester had an eloquent response: "We have to start using less energy now," he said.Conservation. Let's start seeing some multi-billion-dollar government subsidies for that."
