- Title
Shaping an Ethical Future for Biofuels.
- Authors
Tait, Joyce
- Abstract
In this article the author discusses the ethical aspects of biofuels. She notes that excitement about the use of biofuels as an alternative fuel source was dampened by evidence of several environmental and economic impacts, including the sustainability of cultivation systems, biodiversity, and the livelihoods of those who cultivate the land on which fuel crops are grown. Topics include biofuels policies in Europe and the U.S., the ethical principles for biofuels, and policy recommendations.
