It may be decades before AVs are good enough, so in the meantime everyone will have to keep out of their way.

In which we learn a new and useful word: techno-chauvinism.

We are wasting too much time, energy and money on autonomous vehicles. We know what to do and it's not AVs.

Though it was announced over two weeks ago, perhaps because of Exxon's backing of Synthetic Genomics, Dow Chemical's backing of Algenol Biofuels is getting a bit more play. Together they will develop a pilot-scale algae

If it seems like you've read a variation of the above headline before you're not wrong, and as much as anything it's a sign of the rock road cellulosic ethanol and biofuels in general have had in the past few years. The details: The Department of

Is the conventional wisdom that we need not worry about tailpipe emissions in biofuel-powered vehicles, because the plants had been absorbing carbon while growing, grossly misguided?

The massive diversion of grain to fuel cars has helped drive up food prices, leaving low-income consumers everywhere to suffer some of the most severe food price inflation in history.

An ethanol production mandate could be in conflict with efforts to reduce the Gulf Coast dead zone.
