A great resource

Stumbling through the meanders of the internet I found newScientist.com a few days ago. In particular, their Special Reports section. I strongly suggest checking these out to get your bearings on hot topics in technology, biology, astronymy, and natural sciences.

What was the hook, you ask? Fuel's Gold: Big Risks of the Biofuels revolution. It's a great examination of the debate on ethanol and biodiesel as replacements for gasoline. (The one drawback, they turn off access to the articles after a week or so; let me know if you can't read it anymore.)
