Patriotic Friedman, muzzled NASA and evolving Bush

Get out and enjoy nature for a few days and look what happens: Everything changes, and you miss all the nature stories.

This was the biggest environmental story over the weekend until This Happened. I wasn't surprised to hear Bush, supposedly inspired by Thomas Friedman, promote alt-fuel made from corn. It takes a lot of oil to grow corn. But "waste materials?" Will he be talking about biodiesel made from rapeseed oil next?

(Friedman's "State of the Union" column is only available through Times Select, but if you write to me I'll send it to you. It's fair. I can send it to my friends. All readers of my blog are my friends.)
