THE WAXMAN-MARKEY bill on climate change that recently passed the House is a train wreck waiting to happen. Intended to reduce global warming and achieve energy independence, it is totally inadequate in its reliance on a flawed cap and trade system, and the recently released Senate version called the Kerry-Boxer bill follows the same track. Like the House bill, the Senate version represents the further transfer of wealth from taxpayers to the nuclear and fossil-fuel industries – a result of their immense power and influence.

EU Member States approved in September a draft Decision listing 164 industrial sectors and sub-sectors deemed to be exposed to ‘carbon leakage’.

Ethanol producers contend that gasoline also leads to “indirect land-use changes,” and “argues that the corn-based fuel’s environmental credentials should be measured against gasoline made with” oil like that produced by Canada’s oil sands, “not with the lighter and more easily refined crude grades, which are becoming scarcer.” The debate is raising questions about how to extricate the real carbon footprint of a fuel from a complex web of interconnections across continents.
