Greenpeace supports Cellulosic Ethanol

Even greenpeace is coming on board.
The Globe and Mail: Iogen, VW look to build ethanol plant:
by Simon Tuck -- 1/9/2006
"Cellulose ethanol is considered one of the more promising alternative fuels and is particularly popular with many environmentalists because it uses agricultural waste and would create a potentially important new market for farmers.
Dave Martin, energy co-ordinator for Greenpeace Canada, said cellulose ethanol is 'a very positive step.' Grain-based ethanol does little or nothing to help the environment, he said, because of the energy and pesticides used to make the corn and other inputs. 'It's a totally different story.'"
