For reasons having to do with the fact that I tend to agree with your approach (e.g., sort of: "Rephrase the whole mess, please") I have not dealt much lately with these questions. But, getting past his attempts to figure out sustainability of biofuels, his conclusions did seem to jibe with my own basic tenet that even if a solution is not the be-all end-all solution, that does not justify dismissing it out-of-hand as a potential valuable team-player contributor to a sustainable future. > >>>"what size area would be >>>required to plant a sufficient amount of crops to offset the energy >>>required for the whole growing & production process?" >> >>The answer: none. >http://archive.nnytech.net/index.php?view=1801&list=BIOFUELS-BIZ > >>I liked the fact >>that he has chosen to examine these issues, and has illustrated the apparent >>inefficiency (in one sense) of fossil fuel use of solar energy. > >Yes, and we've often agreed on the last bit: "... other technologies >have to be a major part of the solution as well - things like wind >and solar power."
