A very extensive report on the current state of biofuels was published by Grain yesterday.
As we approach ‘Peak Oil’, the point at which world oil production ends it’s long period of steady increases and begins to decline instead, a mad rush to find alternatives has begun. Instead of investing in conservation technologies, or more appropriate ways to generate energy from biomass, we are insisting on producing liquid we can put into our cars. This threatens widespread environmental damage and the resulting loss of biodiversity.
