When is green energy not green energy?  To me the answer starts with the source of energy not giving office any toxins into the environment.  The answer ends with sources of energy that give off no CO2 or significantly reduce CO2 emissions from current levels.  So it seems pretty strange that suddenly ethanol and biodiesel are being paraded thru the media and called “green energy”, it is not.

Diesel fuel with less pollution is greener than the fuel with high sulfur another other components that end up in the atmosphere.  Green energy isn’t ethanol and it’s not bio-diesel from animal fats.  These are usually “greener” but serve to reduce US independence on oil, foreign oil especially, which is good, but not inherently green.

Green energy is emissions free.

Green energy is solar, wind, thermal and nuclear (with a solution for waste), sources of energy that power our society without delivering pollution or CO2 (which it turns out is a form of pollution).
