Ask your MP for better biofuels

Next week MPs will be voting on whether to massively increase the use of biofuels in the UK.
Without stronger sustainability reporting requirements, any increase is likely to:

Fuel rainforest destruction.
Increase food prices.
Encourage destructive monocultures.

The ability of most biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in any meaningful way is also in question.
The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) will make it compulsory to blend all road fuels with biofuels.
It doesn't distinguish between different biofuels, and if it's implemented there will be no going back.
Ask your MP to think twice before voting in favour of the RTFO

Labour concede Llanelli - Morgan Mafia shot out!

Welsh election night 2007 marks the beginning of the end for the Morgan mafia - Goodbye to Catherine Thomas who used to work for Julie Morgan and goodbye to the expectant candidate for Cardiff North - Asbo Sophie Howe who worked for Julie Morgan as does Asbo Sophies Dad. If Rhrodi resigns as leader then maybe we will have an end to the nepotism that corrupts the labour party in Wales.

I hate quizzes! And that background behind Betsan Powys in the studio is dreadful and very distracting - looks like an feeble attempt at the northern lights.
