Notwithstanding the potential impact of invasive species like switchgrass, it just makes sense to use fuel sources that aren’t going to raise food prices throughout the world and, in many cases, are more efficient sources of<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2010/04/13/keeping-cellulosic-crops-green/">Read More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Transportation accounts for over 35 per cent of Canada’s annual greenhouse gas emissions, so it’s not surprising that when we start talking about reducing emissions, we start talking about our cars. But imagine: what if the cars we drove were actually using the CO2 we put into the atmosphere instead of releasing more?

Clean-burning fuel was a big fad decades ago, albeit because of a major spike in gasoline prices.

In Vancouver, it could become mandatory for new condo developments to have electric car charging stations in 10% of their parking stalls.<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2009/10/01/vancouver%e2%80%99s-mandatory-electric-car-chargers/">Read More...</a>]]></description>
