The Spartan Podcast – Bruce Dale
From MSU Today on Impact Radio: Bruce Dale is associate director of MSU’s Office of Biobased Technologies and a professor of chemical engineering and materials science at MSU.
Dale talks about what the bioeconomy is and describes the role of OBT at MSU. And he tells us what he means by “grassoline.”
Dale gives his views on the food vs. fuel debate and the controversy surrounding net energy. He describes his latest research on indirect land use, too.
“Sustainability is very personal to me,” says Dale. “A society built on non-renewable resources is a society thats always on the brink of ending. We’ve been acting for 100 years like there’s no end to oil and that’s dumb.”
