Learning about biofuels

I love National Geographic. It's just about the only publication I trust. Each story is crafted and researched for months by experts, fact checked and fact checked again (unlike just about any other 'news' source). It explores the unseen, wild and exotic in a way that is tangible and captivating. With some of the best photography around.

It's the reason I know anything about the world at all, really.

The cover story this month is on biofuels. It is, as usual, a thorough and balanced view of the potential future of fuel plus excellent pub quiz knowledge like: this year's Indy 500 was won in a car fuelled by ethanol and driven by a Scot. (hey!)

As a bonus, there is a complementary interactive piece online that compares the different types of biofuels.

I wonder if someday we can use our household compost to power our cars...?
