Show #624: THE REAL DEAL?
Guest: Jason Hill, PhD, from the University of Minnesota’s Department of Applied Economics
Subject: To calculate the true cost of a gallon of gasoline, we must add a dollar a gallon for environmental and health costs. This additional dollar per gallon is paid by taxpayers, which leads us to ask… Is there a real alternative to gasoline?
Topics include a comparison of the true costs of gasoline and biofuels; the impact these fuels have on environment and human health; and whether it is possible to grow ourselves into a less expensive energy future.
