With a major review looming (see RFA for more info), I've taken a little look at the biofuels debate. Biofuels are marred by uncertainty and debate. The only inevitability seems to be that the decision made will be bad!

The typical problem for for environmental commentator is how can I stop sounding like a cynical kill-joy hell-bent on making people live uncomfortable lives growing potatoes?
I love this juxta-position. It's something that makes thinking about the environment and taking action on it that bit more interesting. I was reading up on some of the week's environmental news and I can across this report on the Today programme. Shell Springboard grants money to organisations "who submit the most compelling plans for a product or service which helps combat climate change." (from shellspringboard.org).
No doubt any British reader will also be aware of the recent news of Shell's triumphant profit of more than £13.9bn. Well I like a bit of maths. The £13.9bn makes £38m per day, £1.5m per hour and about £26,000 per minute. So £40,000 is just over 1.5 minutes of work. Apparently they gave 8 awards in 2006. Somehow, I feel Shell could be a little more generous.
