Pressure, private cash driving clean energy - CNN.com: "High oil prices and growing concerns about the environment may drive more than $7 trillion of new investment in so-called clean energy technologies by 2030, an energy research group says.
Public pressure and private investment dollars are combining to bring clean energy technologies -- defined as energy sources that are low in carbon emissions -- from the fringes of the energy industry to its center, said Cambridge Energy Research Associates, or CERA, in a new report."

Study: Ethanol may add to global warming - Yahoo! News
Study: Ethanol may add to global warming - Yahoo! News: "The widespread use of ethanol from corn could result in nearly twice the greenhouse gas emissions as the gasoline it would replace because of expected land-use changes, researchers concluded Thursday. The study challenges the rush to biofuels as a response to global warming.
The researchers said that past studies showing the benefits of ethanol in combating climate change have not taken into account almost certain changes in land use worldwide if ethanol from corn — and in the future from other feedstocks such as switchgrass — become a prized commodity."
