I think he'd be somewhat less effective if those one or two folks at Berkeley hadn't come out in partial alliance with some of his ideas. In re-reading some of this news report: http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2003/06/05_ethanol.shtml I don't think much of their way of calculating this, but they're adding to the problem. Pimentel is not alone, apparently. MM ------------------------ Yahoo!
