Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

My attention was drawn to an EU proposal concerning biofuels.
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/file.jsp?id=5589632

There are 2 major items in there:
1. any biofuel that does not reduce CO2 emissions by more than 35% does not count in obtaining the biofuels objective
2. biofuels from waste are counted double

Overall I think this is a good thing (altough perhaps a gliding scale would be better). There are some isues with the double counting though. If I understand it correctly: biofuels from waste are not counted double for reaching the national objectives, but only on the level of the biofuels producer.

The policy will exclude some types of bio-ethanol and palm oil.
