Oxfam America: Bush is "ignoring reality" with climate initiative
Filed under: Biodiesel, Ethanol, Legislation and Policy
President Bush's call for climate the other day hasn't been very widely lauded. Oxfam America has issued one of the stronger criticisms, saying the plan "ignores reality." Echoing Sen. Barbara Boxer's (D-California) statement that the initiative was "worse than doing nothing," Oxfam says it "could make matters worse." Remember, details on just how Bush plans to halt greenhouse gas emissions growth in the U.S. by 2025 were not provided on Wednesday when the president announced the plan.One issue that Oxfam points out in their press release on the topic (pasted after the jump) is biofuels. Just as Europe is having second thoughts about biofuels, Oxfam sounds a dire warning that non-food sources of ethanol need to be encouraged. Well, duh.
