Importance: Producing liquid fuel causes the world to use more. So, policies that produce more liquid fuel tend to be worse for the climate that recognized.
Main Ideas:
• When more fuel is produced, it reduces the world price of liquid fuel.
• This causes people to use more.
• Producing a gallon of ethanol cuts oil use only about 0.74 gallons.
• Consequently, standard corn ethanol increases greenhouse gas emissions.
