Obama Science Advisor Appointee John Holdren Likes Geotechnologies

Earth2Tech offers this quote (about the food/fuel conflict) from a speech he gave earlier in the week. Perhaps we can hook him up with the DOI folks?

We need more effective use of the capabilities provided by satellite imagery and other remote sensing, and by GIS, both for conducting such studies [of projected land requirements for food, animal feed, fiber, biofuels, and infrastructure] and for conveying the results to publics and decision-makers in forms they will understand and use. And, not least, we need technologies for extracting food, fiber, and fuel from agricultural and forest ecosystems in ways less disruptive of the other services those systems provide than the technologies typically used today.
