Dear Friends,
Why should we disturb the forest for the production of
Methanol? Why cant we use the millions of acres of wasteland lying vacant ?I
think we can grow millions of
hardy and usefully trees like Pongamia,Neem,Tamrind and bushes like Jatropha,we
should avoid monoculture. In South
to mature is also a poor choice for
harvesting.
