The whole REDD scheme was intended as a scam from the start.
1. Pay countries with existing forests, to not cut them down.
2. Pay countries with “degraded” forests to encourage “rejuvenation”.
3. Allow countries to introduce exotic species into the “rejuvenation” process.
4. Allow countries to “extract resources” from the “rejuvenated” forest on a sustainable basis.
5. Forget to stipulate that “like must be replaced with a like”, in the definition of “sustainability”.
And the scam? Several of the large environmental NGO’s have been granted “management rights” over large tracts of “degraded” forest, so they get to clip the ticket at every stage of the process.
Follow the money.

Biofuel from Indonesia would probably qualify as "Good" biofuel via the C.A.R.B. requirements....
However biofuel from corn does not as I understand it....
Basing that on what I heard on the John and Ken show...KFI.
With that headline, I’ve *got* to read this.
