The Formula E race at Long Beach, California has been run and someone has taken his first win in the electric racing series with a real fairy tale finish. We're spoiler free here, but just click through to see the winner.
A UC Davis white paper maps out "Three Routes Forward for Biofuels," balancing investment risk with carbon benefits. The first option is "incremental," in which we tinker with the existing biofuel manufacturing infrastructure for small improvements over time.
