...wrong to attribute a significant part of the increase in Amazon deforestation to biofuels, as Mr. Grunwald does. First, suggestions that Brazil is a major culprit in global warming are not supported by scientific facts or reliable statistics. Second, the growth rate of Brazilian emissions has been on the decline primarily because of decreasing rates of Amazon rain-forest deforestation, which is the main source of carbon emissions in Brazil, and increasing use of ethanol fuel. Furthermore, from 1970 to 2005 the use of ethanol in our energy mix has averted the emission of 644 million tons...
...Debate on Clean Energy While Michael Grunwald's cover story on the emerging ethanol industry was both chilling and truthful, it's damaging to demonize the global effort to develop clean fuels as "myth," "scam" and "hype" [April 7]. It is no myth that thousands of scientists and their teams are working feverishly to create biofuels from nonfood plants grown on land unsuitable for food production. The science is still young. We could not have landed on the moon without first launching a primitive plane at Kitty Hawk. But we will succeed. Mark Beyer, Detroit...

It is no myth that thousands of scientists and their teams are working feverishly to create biofuels such as ethanol, biodiesel and biobutanol from nonfood plants grown on land unsuitable for food production. We could not have landed on the moon without first launching at Kitty Hawk. We're getting better at this every day. Mark Beyer, DETROIT...
...Breaking Up Is Hard to Do Thank you, Michael Grunwald, for offering a succinct and balanced discussion of why we should be wary of Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence from Serbia [March 3]. U.S. recognition of Kosovo's secession broke my heart, not because I am of Serbian ancestry but because I am an American. Adherence to rule of law is what makes the U.S. great. Yet by recognizing Kosovo, America has turned a blind eye to the rule of law and has destabilized the globe. This is about Canada and the French-speaking Québécois...
