Is California’s biofuel program good for the planet?
Los Angeles Times
It seems to be a fairly well balanced the report. The main issue seems to be with how much money the government is spending to encourage the development of biofuels. I mean if seems like a good idea to use waste products to make fuel, but when you get the government involved there if often a good deal of waste and corruption. On a related note, Jason has a video on Engineering Explained about how ethanol from corn is actually worse for the environment than straight gasoline.
Phillips San Francisco Refinery is a big place:

Funny thing about this picture - it's taken from Google Maps 3D View of the place, so it's not an actual photograph, as if there even is such a thing as an actual photograph any more.
