biofuels

Actually, much of the land in Brazil that's being used for biofuels was previously deforested for logging and cattle.

We all worked in biofuels for many years and are excited about new green ways of manufacturing.

Nearly all of the contribution of renewable sources to heating and transportation is from biofuels [p.8--9].

Yes, you can make higher density biodiesels and there are even denser biofuels on the horizon.

And biofuels don't look good to me since it becomes a choice between eating or powering your TV set (eating always wins).

I guess we should ramp up electric vehicle production to eliminate the need for those biofuels.

Currently the biggest pressure on demand for palm oil is for biofuels.

However, we already generate 7.5% of our energy from renewables and clearly 7.5% of the country isn't covered in windfarms/solar/biofuels.

That, and the push towards biofuels has nothing green about it.

We've seen some deforestation, and we've also seen agriculture under pressure from biofuels.

We could grow biofuels this way and power LED's.

Livestock and biofuels consume more than humans do.

Biofuels will (hopefully) be used for aircraft (best case, algae produced at airports, converted into biofuels), and we can already create plastics from corn and other crops.
