Rocky Mountain Snow Packs
|
15.5.2013 |
Agricultural and Biofuel News - ENN |
Snow pack forms from layers of snow that accumulate in geographic regions and high altitudes where the climate includes cold weather for extended periods during the year. Snow packs are an important water resource that feed streams and rivers as they melt. Warmer spring temperatures since 1980 are causing an estimated 20 percent loss of snow cover across the Rocky Mountains of western North America, according to new research from the U.S. Geological Survey. The new study builds upon a previous USGS snow pack investigation which showed that, until the 1980s, the northern Rocky Mountains experienced large snow packs when the central and southern Rockies experienced meager ones, and vice versa. Yet, since the 1980s, there have been simultaneous snow pack declines along the entire length of the Rocky Mountains, and unusually severe declines in the north. |

Feeding Distillers Grain to Cows: Why the Ethanol Boom Means More E. Coli Burgers
|
15.5.2013 |
Organic Consumers Association News Headlines |
| Back in 2007, amid a boom in US corn-based ethanol, researchers at Kansas State University released a sobering study involving distillers grains-the mash that's left over after corn has been fermented and distilled into ethanol. As various government programs ramped up ethanol production-and with it the price of corn-the livestock industry was increasingly turning to distillers grains as a cheap corn substitute. But the Kansas researchers found that the stuff seemed to cause a spike in a particularly dangerous-to-humans form of E. coli in the cows' guts. Click here to read this article |

High Oil Prices Help Oil Production, But Not Biofuels
|
15.5.2013 |
Technology Review Feed - Tech Review Top Stories |
| An International Energy Agency report says investments in oil technology will lead to a worldwide supply boom. High oil prices were supposed to make biofuels and other oil alternatives more competitive. If only oil would stay above $80 a barrel (or $70 or $60), biofuels companies often say, then they’d have a market. Their technology for turning weeds into alcohol or pond scum into crude oil could really take off.
