Energy and Environment Program

Ethanol

A distinguished group of business, government, environmental and academic leaders met for two and a half days at Wye Woods in late March to discuss the potential of biofuels to improve energy security, the environment, and the economy.  Co-chaired by Booz Allen Hamilton Vice President and former CIA Director R. James Woolsey and former Congressman Tom Ewing (R. IL), they developed a series of recommendations to stimulate the widespread commercialization of both corn and cellulosic ethanol as a replacement for gasoline.
