Well, here's where BioD is a dead end: if you can't grow enough oil making crops - or it sucks up food crop land - then it is a dead end. (that's why I like jatropha - it could solve world poverty AND solve an energy problem. maybe.) The reason I've never liked efficient systems as a solution to anything is because they always simply treat a problem rather than solve a root cause. But - here's where than gut instinct fails: if you can get efficiency within the parameters of production then you essentially have solved the problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:260607 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
