  In "Loser: Corn-o-copia", our senior news editor, William Sweet, relates the story of how new production facilities are now being built to make ethanol fuel from corn by burning coal to generate electricity to operate the processing equipment.
  ...
  Moreover, in terms of net energy gain, the postulated carbon-intense plant yields 1.3 megajoule per liter of ethanol produced, roughly a quarter of the 4.6-MJ/L energy yield obtained on average from ethanol plants using today's usual technologies, Sweet writes.
  
  One IEEE Fellow whom Sweet consulted for this story was straightforward in his opinion of why projects like the Red Trail plant are being built, and he put the blame squarely on politics.

  William Sweet, an author and editor of IEEE Spectrum, believes this dramatic increase is evidence that human actions are behind the global temperature changes.He lectured at the university on possible solutions to the problems of climate change on Feb. 28.
  
  "Drastic climate changes have occurred repeatedly, but we're now at a level that we've never been at before," Sweet said.
  
  According to Sweet, greenhouse gases are currently about 50 percent higher than at previous interglacial periods.He said that the US is one of a group of countries that have "refused to acknowledge that there's a problem."
  
  Freshman Zahir Rahman, president of College Democrats, believes that humans have played a significant role in the increases of global warming.
  
  "Looking strictly at the available data, most scientists would agree that while the actual temperature increases are a natural occurrence, the unprecedented leap in carbon emissions on earth illustrate the consequences of our actions," he said.
  ...
  "The US has blatantly refused to get in line with Kyoto protocol," Sweet said."Paid propagandists were very successive in making Kyoto a near-unmentionable word in American politics."Sweet said that energy companies demonized the policy in an effort to preserve their profits.
  
  Zahir Rahman feels that the Kyoto Protocol is the best way for the US to show a real interest in curbing global warming.
  
  "While I recognize its many weaknesses, I see Kyoto as a fantastic opportunity for the United States to better its image to the rest of the world," he said.
  ...
  Sweet said that while most people feel the solution to regulating carbon emissions is in the automotive sector, the price of gasoline would have to be doubled to have any effect.
  
  "What can be done the fastest is conservation," said Sweet.
