Here's the problem ~ "The reports authoring committee used the Biofuel Breakeven Model to evaluate the costs and feasibility of a local or regional market for cellulosic biofuel made using a variety of different feedstocks. The model estimates the minimum price that biomass producers would be willing to accept for a dry ton of biomass delivered to the biorefinery, and the maximum price that biorefineries would be willing to pay to at least break even.
A MODEL.
Just like Anthropogenic Global Warming.
This one even reads minds by imagining the minimum price biomass producers would be willing to..... blah,blah, blah.
So, let's assume a gigantic war in the Middle East with nuclear bombs being tossed around. Bet that's not even an issue in that model ~ but it should be!
Frankly, anything that starts with "estimate" followed by "would be" followed by "would be" in the same paragraph is probably not something I will necessarily believe.
Don't you imagine the guys who wrote up the report know that.
