The Nitty Gritty on American Biofuels
It was only a matter of time until it got political.
If your life was dominated by the grueling beauty of the world’s fittest athletes in the world’s tightest clothing over the last 2 weeks, then no doubt you were also sitting through the commercials. You might have noticed those irritatingly sunny ads with high school kids running around and throwing yellow t-shirts to promote GM’s ethanol miracle. If you have also been following the recent hemorrhaging of jobs by said American automaker, you might be wondering if this was just marketing greenwash.
Well, I highly recommend this breakdown on the current e85 rage. The illustrious Amanda Griscom Little over at Grist rakes through the dense numerical mulch that underlies the newfound compost fervor. Looks like the Biofuels bandwagon may have just got a Heartland SUV makeover. For the better?
