One link before turning in for the night. I haven't checked into this Aviation Biofuel but I'm always a little hesitant to jump on the biofuel bandwagon simply due to the immense volumes of biomass required to satiate our hunger for fuel. 

My general feel is that if consumption isn't addressed first, the reality of ever being able to grow enough fuel is a total pipe dream and will result not only in an ecological disaster but will also create a massive security issue. If you think terrorists controlling energy supplies is a security nightmare, imagine the security issues raised when the nations energy source could be wiped out by insects. Don't think it's possible? Google - Mountain Pine Beetle and tell me what you find. 

Back from hiatus

Totally neglected this little page for far too long. During my hiatus I left a job, started my own business, completed a very interesting research project, completed a degree, made an international move, and am now in the final stages of planning a wedding with my fiancee. If that's not a decent excuse to neglect my small corner of the internet, I don't know what is ;o)

Was thinking of writing a little bit on what the outgoing Bush Administration is doing to dismantle existing environmental legislation but there have been plenty of people commenting on that so rather than contribute to the blogging echo-chamber I'll pull some notes and ideas together over the coming days about the incoming administration. Who knows, I may even contribute an original thought or two.
