BP Invoices Anadarko and Mitsui for Gulf Cleanup | www.petroleumafrica.com

This action by BP should not come as much of a surprise to anyone. It is reasonable to assume that while BP carries the front page burden of this spill, actions of this nature should be expected. They are reasonable and within the legal and financial boundaries of corporate contracts.Once the spill is contained, it is also reasonable to find that years of legal actions between all parties involved in the rig and this particular well will be taken and pursued.

Biofuels from nonfood chain feedstock sources are viable alternative fuels

November 4, 2009

Biofuels do harm, aren't they? | pellets-wood.com

The biofuels and alternative energy project models that were originally based on feedstock materials from the food chain commodities have been shown to a failure, something many already knew.Not only did they add to the upward pressures on food chain commodities, especially corn and soyoil, they brought added deforestation pressures in several developing economies.Additional fertilizers and pressures on already low water supplies in some areas were additional exacerbations to the equation.The new generation of feedstock for biofuel production will be from nonfood chain sources and will add new benefits into the biofuel equation.
