Here's a terrific video from Reason on the National Registry of Exonerations at Northwestern University.
The registry itself makes for fascinating browsing. (It's possible I have a morbid sense of what's fascinating.)

    • BIOFUEL IS WAY FORWARD: VIETNAM GOVT
    Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai last week urged ministries to give incentives for the production and use of bio-fuel, which was defined as fuel made from plantations such as cassava, coconut, sesame, peanut, flax and jatropha, or animal products, such as catfish fat.
    Bio-fuels have 70 per cent less CO2 emissions and 30 per cent less poisonous chemical emissions compared with petrol. Bio-fuel made from sugar has 89 per cent less CO2 gas.

    Compared with traditional fuel like coal and gas, bio-fuel produces less greenhouse gases, disintegrates faster and does less harm to water and land resources. It also causes less wear and tear on engines.

    A United Nations Environment Programme report showed bio fuels accounted for 1.8 per cent of transport fuel, with ethanol production having tripled between 2000-07 and biodiesel production rising eleven-fold.

    The report also said mandates to blend biofuel into fossil fuels for vehicles had been enacted in 17 countries by 2006, mostly requiring blending with 10-15 per cent ethanol or 2-5 per cent biodiesel.
    Statistic showed there were about 4 million hectares of abandoned hill country in Viet Nam – including more than half the Central Highlands – which was suitable for growing jatropha curcas, the crop that many countries used for bio fuel.
