25x'25 Responds to Science studies

Recent studies published in Science magazine raised concerns about misusing land to respond to the feedstock needs of biofuels. In the wake of these reports, media outlets raised significant concerns about the environmental dangers of biofuels. In a response to these concerns, the national 25x'25 released a statement emphasizing the studies' recommendations "to avoid these problems and insure that future biofuels give us both a new renewable energy source and greatly reduced greenhouse gas emissions." The development of second generation biofuels that come from biomass such as switchgrass and wood resources will provide more energy using less water, less water, and less energy unit per gallon of fuel.
