      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

For the Clarity's release in California, Honda said it received 50,000 applications through its Web site but could only consider those living near stations in Torrance, Santa Monica and Irvine.

      Biofuel backlash: High prices, pollution worries hit consumers

      Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times

    • Researchers boost yields of rice-waste biofuel

      Posted by Jeff from Environmental News Network

      Chinese scientists have developed a new method that dramatically increases the yield of a clean biogas fuel from rice straw. China is the world's largest rice producer and the industry results in 230 million tonnes a year of surplus rice 'straw' — the stem and leaves left behind after harvesting. Farmers often burn the straw, increasing pollution and carbon dioxide emissions (see Stalk burning fuels China pollution woes).

    • 'They can go 40 miles for a dollar,' if cars get made

      Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer

      Posted by Jeff from Feeds.treehugger

      British Telecom Carbon Emissions image BT Has a Green Plan for the Future Communication giant British Telecom (BT) has announced that it plans to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2020. But the real good news is that they are already on the right track so far, and are making big investments for the future like a $500-million wind farm that could generate enough clean electricity to power 25% of the company by 2016, making it the biggest non power utility investor in wind power in the UK (for now - we hope there will be a lot of competition for that top spot). They also ins...
