EPA ruling, according to TIME, was highly favorable to agrofuels

Michael Grunwald of TIME wrote an excellent article on how the EPA's recent indirect land use decision was rigged in favor of the ethanol industry:

Stress-Testing Biofuels: How the Game Was Rigged

It is interesting to note that the majority of the media is reporting that the EPA ruling is viewed as devastating to the biofuels industry.

The Wildfuels Alternative

This blog is devoted to the promotion, development, and understanding of Wildfuels and Low-Input, High-Diversity systems for biofuels. Frequently used acronyms: HILD - High-Input, Low-Diversity systems. These include corn (maize) as well as improved switchgrass, hybrid poplar, miscanthus, rapeseed, and many others. HILD systems require high energy and agrichemical inputs. LIHD - Low-Input, High-Diversity systems. This term was coined by the ecologist David Tilman and coauthors. These include natural and seminatural grasslands, restored prairie, spontaneous succession, and other grasslands. LIHD systems require few, if any, agrichemical inputs. This list is moderated by Michael W. Palmer, Vegetation Scientist, Department of Botany, Oklahoma State University. email: mike.palmer@okstate.edu
