Bureaucrats can never fail

WHEN bureaucrats make a cock-up, they don't get fired, they get re-assigned or they invent a bureaucratic solution to the problem. So it seems from the admission by the European Commission ( Daddy of all Bureaucratic systems) that they got it wrong in promoting a whole range of bio fuels in the belief that they would curb dreaded CO2 emissions. It now appears that many of these green fuels do more damage -- or at least as much damage -- as horrible old petroleum products. Not to worry, the EU is now planning to license bio-fuels so that only approved ones with the correct carbon footprint will be permitted to reach the market. Who will oversee the licensing? Why, the EU itself, of course.
