Alternative fuels may boost pollution...seriouly misleading headline.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071113/sc_afp/usenergyenvironment

Sounds like red meat to the Rusho crowd, but here's the what the article says:
Some alternative vehicle fuels such as liquid coal can cause more harmful greenhouse gas emissions than polluters such as petrol or diesel, scientists warned in a US study released Tuesday.
"Liquid coal, for example, can produce 80 percent more global warming pollution than gasoline," said the Union of Concerned Scientists, a non-profit environmental group, in a statement introducing its study."

So coal, which most environmentalist think is the worst possible fuel is bad. But why don't we just lump ALL alternative fuels together. Great journalism AFP
