			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The news cycle is filled with so many stories concerning the perilous state of our environment, it is nice when a piece of encouraging news comes along.  Yesterday, <a href="http://www.wnyc.org/news/articles/145391?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wnyc%2Fnewsarticles+%28News+from+WNYC+New+York+Public+Radio%29" target="_blank">WNYC news</a> reported that the nation&#8217;s largest biofuel facility is coming to Brooklyn and will be located on Newtown Creek, currently a superfund site.  The plant will be converting various waste products into fuel, reducing our city&#8217;s waste output, and producing energy at the same time. According to WNYC:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Queens councilman James Gennaro, who chairs the committee on environmental protection, says <a href="http://www.metroenergy.com/biofuels/greenheat.cfm" target="_blank">Metro Fuel</a>&#8217;s work will help his efforts to create a new mandate for home heating.  &#8220;There would be biofuels blended with standard heating oil, making it a lot cleaner, a lot better for the environment, and not any more costly,&#8221; Gennaro says.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m proud to hear that it&#8217;s happening in my borough, now if only there was more of this kind of development happening on a larger scale.  Here&#8217;s to <a href="http://www.wnyc.org/news/articles/145391?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wnyc%2Fnewsarticles+%28News+from+WNYC+New+York+Public+Radio%29" target="_blank">WYNC</a> for taking the time to report on it!</p>
