The debut broadcast of our new environmental affairs program investigates so-called "bio-fuels". It's a popular economic slogan in the Hoosier state, like "tech park" or "life sciences", but what does "bio-fuel" mean, and is using them any better for the planet? Biologist and researcher Marti Crouch joins us to explore the truth about biofuels. Crouch was an Associate Professor of Biology at Indiana University for twenty years before leaving academia in 2000 after learning that her research was being used in ways nature never intended.
