Today in Biofuels Opinion: “How could the ARB’s lead resource…have such a biased view?”

Mitch Hawkins CEO of JatrophaBioJet Corporation: “The introduction of [the Waxman-
Markey bill] marks the beginning of broader, new changes in climate activity for American busi-
ness.  The consensus … was that the bill would work its way through the labyrinth of Congress and be signed by the President by the end of 2009. The impact for Biofuels will be excellent and couldn’t be better for our businesses.”

Ethanol advocate Paul Wickoff:  “I did locate video footage of Daniel Sperling on the Daily Show recently, to tout his new book “2 Billion Cars.”  In the video they reference the “F*#k Corn Ethanol” chapter.  How in the world could anyone be the ARB’s lead resource on this important specific issue while at the same time have such a biased view?”
