Yeah, growing food for cars MAY be immoral. Makes sense doesn't it. Convert food stocks, grown on arable land easily devoted to a variety of uses, to fuel. Use almost as much energy to make the fuel as the fuel actually yields. Yep, makes sense to me. making bio-diesel from sewerage waste. Will not meet our current fuel usage but can go some way to meeting current demand, uses a waste (shit) to make a fuel and does not lock up arable land (grows on sewerage ponds). Moreover it cleans the water. http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/SC060...TOKEN=67777452 grain production vs consumption http://www.fas.usda.gov/grain/circul...06/graint2.gif rob |
