• Conclusion: 7% more greenhouse gases in early years
Biofuels made from the leftovers of harvested corn plants are worse than gasoline for global warming in the short term, a new study shows, challenging the Obama administration's conclusions that they are a much cleaner oil alternative and will help combat climate change.
A $500,000 study – paid for by the federal government and released Sunday in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Climate Change – concludes that biofuels made with corn residue release 7% more greenhouse gases in the early years compared with conventional gasoline.
While biofuels are better in the long run, the study says they won't meet a standard set in a 2007 energy law to qualify as renewable fuel.

EVERYTHING liberals promote is worse than what it is supposed to replace!
Can we get the Saudis out of the way? They sit on the EPA Boards to keep us from drilling for our own oil...so we have to buy from them...WTF you all?
So, we get bad mileage, worse pollution with gasoahol.Now we know that we use less galine per mile by running it pure. Drill our own soil and get off the grid so we can start making money.
lets do a study on what type of people do studies?--
