Burning ethanol reduces greenhouse gas emissions, since you're just putting carbon back into the atmosphere that was recently pulled out by the plants.
The faux carbon fiber back is a little cheesy -- particularly for a device that otherwise looks fairly businesslike -- but with 7.2Mbps HSDPA, GPS, a WQVGA display, and a 5 megapixel camera on board, it's hard to argue that this device can't be competitive (put this up against the far bulkier, uglier N95, for example).

Based on these findings, Dr Jiao and his colleagues propose that AAPB, and possibly other, similar microbes, have a predominant role in pumping carbon into a pool of compounds that cannot be turned back into carbon dioxide by living creatures, thereby building up a large reservoir that keeps carbon out of the atmosphere.
They carbon-date back to millennia after the end of the ice age, about 9-10 thousand years ago.
Even though this is the largest survey of back carbon ever published Lehmann concedes that it is difficult to assess how much these new findings might change climate predictions.
It does make for a device that's easy to hold in one hand securely, with no worries about it slipping and falling, but it lacks the premium look and feel of the tapered carbon-fiber back on the 9900, and even the faux leather on the 9700.
To cut back on the carbon, Gartner recommends corporate techies take steps such as measuring power consumption and cutting back on spare servers and printers to tracking the way gear such as PCs and monitors are junked.
While lots of carbon dioxide will go back into the earth, even more--4 million tons a year worth--will be generated by the energy-intensive liquefaction process and vented straight to the atmosphere.
Lined with sensing devices, the anonymous carbon fiber blades are vibrated back and forth.
The Tories have their own populist agenda: the creation of a Big Society Bank to distribute funds from dormant bank accounts and a Green Investment Bank to back low-carbon industry.
ECONOMIST: Two views on new banking rules are better than one
This brings us back to that new carbon cap-and-tax windfall.

If the economy doesn't roll over, SGL Carbon is too strong not to bounce back.
Of course when it comes to pay green taxes aimed at tackling carbon emissions, it is easier to back your judgement with common sense, and local freezing.
"(Our study) suggests that we will be able to use the composition of fossil plant tissue to reconstruct the carbon composition of past atmospheres as far back as 400 million years ago, " she added.
Or, it may lead to the conclusion that the available dollars are better spent in tracking carbon through the supply chain (or that we need to go back and ask the CEO and CFO for more money to get an accurate view of our carbon footprint across both internal operations and the supply chain and how they affect each other).
FORBES: InfosysVoice: Internally or externally, the environment figures in a business plan
After credits are sold in carbon markets, NASCSP would distribute the proceeds back to each state.
Some of the hydrogen and carbon monoxide created in the process are fed back into the reactor to keep it going, while GreatPoint recovers most of the catalyst from the char and applies it to more coal.
Back when we reviewed the original X1 Carbon, we came away slightly underwhelmed by the display, its fairly high 1, 600 x 900 resolution be damned.

The authors say that while cutting back on soot is important, cutting carbon dioxide emissions is the best way to address climate change in the long term.
Conversely, when forests are cleared or die back because of global warming, they emit carbon.
Woody biomass has been presumed to be carbon neutral because carbon emissions released by burning the wood would be taken back up from the atmosphere as new trees grew.
FORBES: Massachusetts Addresses "Biomass Loophole" and Limits Subsidies
"The first thing that happens when we add carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is it radiates some extra radiation back down to the surface, and we warm up a little bit, " Kirk-Davidoff says.
Back then, it took 7, 000 years for carbon dioxide to reach 80 ppm, Tans said.
Back then, it took 7, 000 years for carbon dioxide to reach 80 parts per million, Tans said.
The idea for Team Philips started on the back of a beer mat and developed into the largest carbon fibre racing yacht.
Land masses, and their inhabitants, emit methane without then sucking any of it back up, which makes inverse modelling easier than for carbon dioxide (which has sinks, in the form of photosynthesising plants, as well as sources).
And for the press, if you weren't able to hear, this board testifies to the number of kilowatt hours that have been saved, the amount of money that's gone back into consumers' pockets, and the amount of carbon that has been taken out of the atmosphere as a consequence of the great work that these people at OPOWER are doing.
So the drive to get carbon emissions down appears to be on (excuse the pun) the back burner.
Those proclaiming the virtues of wind and solar should be compelled to reveal actual output data from these sources, the required back-up, and data on the actual reduction of carbon dioxide and other emissions when alternative sources are used.
