The problem is that renewables are there but they are not direct swops for existing sources of energy. This is because they require far more energy expended to exploit them than ‘traditional’ sources. That’s the same thing as saying a bigger proportion of your income goes on energy.

The Greens paint a wonderful picture of life carrying on the same with all the same comforts but with energy drawn from sources with rustic charm and no side effects. No nasty emissions just a nice windmill on your cottage and so on.

See Tim Morgan’s report.

Bio fuels aren’t about some liberal movement, they’re about trying to find a renewable source of energy to the finite reserves of oil. If 30 million people a year are starving, then we need to get the message through to the Third World to stop breeding like rabbits and get their countries into a fit state in which to bring children into, rather than pulling the plug on what is a vastly important area of production because these Third Worlders seem unable to sort their own situation out.

The world needs a renewable source of vehicle fuel, and certainly not the increasingly damaging methods of extraction used by the fuel companies to access the earth’s dwindling supplies, or is fracking acceptable to you also?

They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions The good intention here was obviously to try and reduce carbon emissions and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Obviously the hell aspect is that this has meant many people suffering starvation as a result. It’s just a pity that the EU doesn’t seem to have enough people working there who can think this through properly, or realise their gross mistake and cancel this lunacy. Very much like our Westminster idiots.

A better solution for biofuels should be bio-waste, not bio-products, and such solutions could be cannabis, oil waste or algae energy. Algae comes from the sewage, ponds or the sea and they have a lot more stored fat due to the emission of CO2 and algae fuel production would not overtake too many acres of land unlike corn fuel.

Not to mention that cattle manure can be used for biofuels as it has been in Texas, this would help farmers earn a fortune
