IWF Culture of Alarmism Director Julie Gunlock sits down with IWF Energy Fellow Jillian Melchior to discuss renewable fuel standards. Concerns have increased about the unintended consequences of biofuels. In addition to the costs of subsidies for taxpayers, increased use of ethanol has driven up gas prices as well as food prices, both in the United States and around the globe. Scientists are increasingly concluding that the widespread use of biofuels may actually have a net negative impact on the environment.Julie and Jillian discuss these impacts and possible future solutions.
