US Energy Secretary Bodman on Biofuels

The Wall Street Journal has reported in its "Environmental Capital" section that Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman is cautiously balancing his position about biofuels, saying, “the bottom line is this: concerns about the sustainability and environmental impact of biofuels are not misplaced, but they are absolutely not a reason to ignore the tremendous promise of biofuels. They are an argument for developing them in a way that makes sense for our environment, for our food supply, for our agricultural community and for our nation’s economic health.”
