The President of the European Commission is running a cyber-poll on whether to maintain the 10% biofuels target for 2020 or not.
With over 38,000 votes, the NO is running at 87%.
Click on over there and let Barroso know what you think.
Will they pay more attention to this poll than to reasoned contributions to the Commission's own consultation on Biofuels? When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes
If we admit that only 5% is practically achievable, a 10% target will necessitate a 50% reduction in fossil carbon. When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes
A lot of "plain folks" I spoke to a year or two ago assumed biofuels were going to fill in for oil and they would just go on driving around as before. Now they're aware of the land use problem. It's a step on the road to them seeing they should start choosing when to drive and when to refrain.
My point is it's worth answering NO even if the procedure isn't right.
