Great Day for Biofuels! Russia Ratifies Kyoto Protocol Treaty

[pnutchuck]

After six years of international negotiations the Kyoto Treaty finally received enough signatures from participating countries to make that treaty binding on all signatures. Russia was the last to sign giving the treaty its required 55% of the nations that contribute to global warming gases.

This is a major victory for alternative fuels like biodiesel and ethanol, which reduce CO2 emissions.

On Nov. 5, 2004 Reuters released the following information:

"President Vladimir Putin gave his seal of approval for Russia's crucial backing of the Kyoto Protocol, clearing the way for the U.N. environment pact aimed at curbing global warming to come into force early next year."
