Pretty soon we’ll do what the ancient Easter Islanders did—strip everything and die of starvation.

Maybe we out to try using the stuff found in and under the ground instead of scraping the earth bare and using up all of the food resources for fuel.

I thought the tree-huggers told us we couldn’t cut trees down. Only Bad People cut trees down.
I’m so sick of this crap.

Good grief! Why fool around with making bio-fuels from a resource that takes YEARS to grow. Look into fuels made from switchgrass and kudzu, two plants that grow at phenomenal rates, and seem to grow almost anywhere.

My prediction is biofuel from algae is going to be the future. Very high oil yield per hectare, easily renewable, can be grown anywhere (including desert greenhouses), will not interfere with food crop supplies, etc. Of course there are some issues to work out but it's getting closer to mass production. Here's a good info site:

The Internet is filled to the brim with this story or that story of some miracle fuel that is going to save us from our dependency on oil. Excrement, Excrement, Excrement! If any of this stuff really worked it would be front page news in the world's newspapers. The money it would make would put the investors in a class with Bill Gates.
Until I see something actually work on a commercial basis I will hold back my enthusiasm. I am starting to feel a little like Charlie Brown having the football pulled out from me as I try to kick it.

Biofuels = Deforestation. The greenies meet the law of unintended consequences?
