Eugene Thomas White Jr. was born in 1916, south of Elizabeth City . His family rented the farm they lived on until the owner died. In 1935, fearing the farm would be sold out from under them, they borrowed money from a neighbor and purchased a 500-acre farm on Ballahack Road in the southern portion of what was then Norfolk County. That area is known, inexplicably, as Northwest.
Eugene helped his father on the farm and went to work as a welder at Norshipco during World War II, building Liberty ships. After the war, he earned a bachelor's degree from Randolph-Macon College. When WWII surplus equipment was being auctioned, he purchased an Allis Chalmers Bulldozer against his father's wishes. Eugene thought farmers were becoming interested in clearing additional acreage to increase their cr...

Even Brazilian sugarcane, touted as the world's model for conversion from fossil fuels to sustainable "green energy," has its downside. The energy yield appears beyond question. It is claimed that ethanol from sugarcane may produce as much as eight times as much energy as it takes to grow and process. But a recent World Wildlife Fund report for the International Energy Agency raises serious questions about this approach to future energy independence. It turns out that 80% of Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions come not from cars, but from deforestation - the loss of embedded carbon dioxide when forests are cut down and burned. A hectare of land may save 13 tons of carbon dioxide if it is used to grow sugarcane, but the same hectare can absorb 20 tons of CO2 if it remains forested. If suga...
