It either costs almost as much to produce per unit of energy as is delivered or it outright rapes the planet. You can brag up your green credentials by taking credit for all the dead orangutans you used to tank up on biofuel. Or you can take credit for the human slaves who produce the fuel you burn. You can even brag up the moonscape your Prius helped create. You can pat yourself on the back over how green you are by buying offsets - even if they don't work. Or you can pay for offsets that condemn human beings to a life of serfdom to help pay off your guilt. In the end, there is really only one way that is practical to go if you really are serious about saving the planet and cutting greenhouse gasses. That would be nuclear poser. [...] [...] Most "renewable energy" at this point is a joke. It either costs almost as much to produce per unit of energy as is delivered or it outright rapes the planet.

Then cheerily note that the price of bread - made from wheat - is also rising but see no connection. Er, ok. That makes sense. Not. I've noted on several occasions that biofuels are causing severe upward pressure on food prices - and will continue to do so. It will get much worse very soon.

But those projects are still being relentlessly pushed by the true believers. Damn the orangutans, (Bio)fuel speed ahead.

I have read it can be done for about $40/bbl, the technology is proven, and the USA is the Persian Gulf of coal. BUT there is too much carbon in the gas to please you know who.

It is amazing it has taken lefty greenies this long to figure that out. Man, the law of unintended consequences is a bitch.
