 | Are We There Yet? Grist biofuels series shifts into future tense |
We had a good long nap over the weekend, and now we're ready to bring you the second and final week of our biofuels series. Last week we looked at how the Western world grew to love oil, how corporations have pushed ethanol, and other sordid tales from the past. This week, we shift to the future: Amanda Griscom Little interviews venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, who's banking on biofuels; Jennifer Weeks forecasts the outlook for cellulosic ethanol; and Yolanda Crous talks with a young entrepreneur who's betting on grease conversion kits changing the landscape. And in a response to the series, an editorial by environmental-justice advocate Alan Hipólito asks a key question underlying the biofuels boom: who's going to get the jobs when this industry ramps up?
