According to Nobel Laureate chemist Paul J. Crutzen, crops
grown to make 'green' fuel actually increase global warming.
The plants could produce up to 70% more greenhouse gases than
conventional diesel, due to the nitrous oxide released by fertilizers. "The study suggested scientists and farmers focus on crops which required less intensive farming methods to produce better benefits for the environment." Of course, we wouldn't be growing green fuels at all if it didn't serve the political ambitions of someone. A better suggestion would be for politicians to focus on wasting less money and let the scientists worry about science and the farmers worry about farming.
