Check the facts. A lot has changed in 20 years! Check the sources. 20-30
years ago a lot of misinformation was planted in enviro groups by interests
who wanted to preserve the status quo. Check the sources of funding that
the political interests fot he leadership of enviro groups. It is quite
telling! BS about ethanol is still being quoted as "Fact" just as the
Masters and Johnson statement that "as much as 10 % of the population of
the study (hookers) may be homosexual" is misquoted as 10% of the
population (of the country) is homosexual (but afraid to show it) There
is a big difference in the population of a study, when that population is
deviant, and the population of the country.
Again, Huff's "how to lie with statistics" is an excellent primer to learn
how to separate fact from "facts"

Biofuels are a hope, but with the current US farming methods, there is
some debate as to whether or not there is a net fuel gain -- I've been
hearing for at least 20 years that more BTU are consumed in production
of crops in the US that is present in the final product -- one must
include the energy costs of producing herbicides, pesticides, the
actual use of farm equipment, and the energy used to produce and
transport the fertilizers.
