you know my interest in clean energy
came from the dire need for solving the
carbon problem you know it’s a crisis
one things we have to do is get real
from my point of view I view climate
risk or weather risk as big a risk as
nuclear terrorism nuclear proliferation
Homeland Security it has the potential
to damage and kill a lot more people
that’s what got me very very interested
in working on this problem if you look
at ways to reduce carbon in our
environment when it comes to
transportation there’s only two ways
electric cars and biofuels the emissions
profile of an electric car isn’t as
great because it’s still called powered
car because most of our electricity is
generated we thought that biofuels would
mean ethanol in fact really clearly
ethanol is obsolete today the food based
technologies whether they be biodiesel
or corn ethanol have really failed and
they should be discontinued I think it’s
time to get rid of him biofuels that
have been successful have mostly been
not biodiesel as we know it from food
stocks but diesel and gasoline produced
from wood chips as kioras doing in
Mississippi it has fifty percent more
yield almost uses no water at all it’s
clearly the winning technology it will
be cheaper unsubsidized then deep
offshore drilling projects or oil sands
projects could we replace all of the
gasoline we use in the United States
with a bio gasoline produced from wood
chips from the paper mills that have
been shut down in this country the
answer is we can both reduce the amount
of land area under cultivation the stuff
that’s going to produce corn ethanol to
i we can return all those paper mills
that have been shut down back into
business and thriving communities and
replace our gasoline with something
that’s eighty percent lower carbon or
more while not paying more things can
change and they can change very rapidly
they do not change with incremental
technologies because the economics of
incremental technologies don’t change
