OneWorld.net - VIENNA, Aug 11 (IPS) - A wind turbine on an acre of northern Iowa farmland could
generate 300,000 dollars worth of greenhouse-gas-free
electricity a year. Instead, the U.S. government pays out
billions of dollars to subsidise grain for ethanol fuel that
has little if any impact on global warming, according to
Lester Brown.
