Biofoolishness
Many thanks to Quilly Mammoth over at Just Barking Mad for pointing out this article from Smithsonian Magazine. (Heck, I get that and had not read the piece.) Titled Who’s Fueling Whom? it is written by Richard Coniff and it positively destroys the myths of biofuel. It is a devastating article. This one is a must read. He hits many of the same things I have pointed out over and over: food prices are skyrocketing, the economics simply do not work and wildlife is already suffering – and will suffer even more. But he also points out the simple fact that there is not enough land to produce enough fuel. Period.
A very worthwhile post that should be essential reading for all of those who think that Biofuel is any kind of answer to our future transport fuel needs.
With a nod to Keith who pointed out the post.
Cheers Comrades
