Nathaniel Greene at NRDC.com: “A group of twelve developers and investors in next generation biofuels (including Vinod Khosla) released a letter to the California Air Resource Board supporting the development of rigorous GHG accounting for biofuels.  While the letter supports CARB’s inclusion of emissions from indirect land-use change caused by some biofuels, the letter goes further to call for some specific measures that could help chart a course forward on this tricky issue.”

From a Globescan survey on climate change: “Three-quarters (73%) of the 1,000 experts surveyed agree that “equitable economic growth and development and significant progress in combating climate change can be achieved at the same time.” Only 11 percent disagree.”
