Even Friends of the Earth are upset!

Even Friends of the Earth are upset with the latest EU directive that makes us have biofuel in our petrol and diesel from today.

“Most people will be horrified to know the Government is putting biofuels in our petrol when the damage they do to forests could make climate change worse,” said Friends of the Earth biofuels campaigner, Kenneth Richter. “People want to see real green transport solutions that will make a difference to their lives - like better public transport and smarter cars that burn less fuel,” he added.

Now if even the tree huggers agree that this can only harm the planet then why have the EU pushed this through? I would love to know how many of the European MP's who voted it through have shares in biofuel producing companies.
