During that said episode, he shows a scientific finding that getting ethanol from corn is very energy intensive and we are better of adopting energy conservation in order to lessen our dependence on fossil fuels.<BR/>I'm all in favor for saving our planet, but let's not kid ourselves into believing that biofuels is the proverbial "magic bullet" that will end global energy crisis or solve the climate change crisis.Guapitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810488024832168485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047085949802013764.post-25035950411185495102007-10-29T00:52:00.000-07:002007-10-29T00:52:00.000-07:00There's a lot that had been said about using food ...There's a lot that had been said about using food crops as biofuels, but the "carbon accounting" of biofuel production's carbon neutrality is just - in my opinion - the "teething period" of adopting a hitherto "previously unutilized resource." To me, nations - especially those not blessed with commercially viable amounts of oil reserves like the Philippines - that choose to develop their own domestic biofuel industries will be able to purchase fuel from their own farmers rather than spending their increasingly scarce foreign exchange funds on imported oil. This is yet more money that will not be used to fund the "adventurisms" of despotic Middle Eastern States. The biofuel industry ccould be the Third World Nation's only means of excerting moral pressure to these tyrranical regimes.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144004897329203433noreply@blogger.com
