The UK Joins California in Casting a Wary Eye Toward Biomass
In the United States, it's vehicle fuel; in the United Kingdom, electricity generation. But in both places, officials are casting a wary eye toward using wood, corn, grasses and other plant matter for energy. They fear that growing and transporting the material could actually add to greenhouse gas emissions. ...
