Re: M had enough
Let me give you the short version of that.
No
Ok, slightly longer then... The problem with biodiesel and any other energy-crop is that, well, it's a crop, and it doesn't really stand scaling very well. Sooner or later we will need to make a choice, use the land to grow food or use it to grow energy. This goes for any crop that can only be grown in fertile land, there are some who claim biodiesel from algae, grown in wats in the desert, would be viable, but I remain unconvinced.
This does by no means mean that biodiesel or ethanol is useless, it is not but we can just switch to it and continue business as usual. We can't continue to grow (no pun intended) our energy needs as we have done if we are to rely on a crop.
