Ethanol

It's getting out of hand. Vast acres of land converted to corn growing for the sake of ethanol production. Here's an article about it which really would have been titled, by a less polite author, "Ethanol – the bullshit product."

The solutions are simple, but difficult to attain.

1) Use less energy. Ha. Haha. North America, China, India. Forget it.

2) Burn less petroleum. Ha. Haha. See above.

3) Use solar-derived or earth-derived sources (wind, geothermal, hydro). This will work in the very long term.

End of summary.

More entertaining, though, is this list of the ten worst jobs in science. It must really suck to be a professional scientist (as opposed, I suppose, to an unprofessional one) these days.
