Clinton calls biofuels key to creating jobs

Former U.S. president Bill Clinton took dead aim at his successor in the White House at a major business conference here yesterday, saying the key to prosperity in the future lies in fighting global warming.

And it can be done for a lot less than the cost of the war in Iraq, he says.

“The most important thing you can do is give us a different energy future,” Clinton told a luncheon crowd at BIO 2006, a gathering of 20,000 biotechnology executives and scientists.
