Default China Set To Grow Forest The Size Of England For Ethanol And Biodiesel

“China, the world’s third-largest ethanol maker, will use 32.9 million acres (13.3 million hectares) of forestland, equivalent to the size of England, to grow trees that can be harvested to make bio-fuels. (via)”

It amazes me sometimes what China will do when China feels like doing something. They want a dam, they build the biggest one in the world, screw the consequences. They want wind turbines, by god they are going to build some F’ing turbines. Well it seems they want to make some Ethanol.

This is great... sometimes I think that the poorer countries like China look at the future in a lot more detail then more developed countries...
