Somethings to think about regarding biofuels . . . .
To replace the US oil consumption for a year with corn ethenol, you would need a farm more than 4 times bigger than the entire united states.
To replace the US oil consumption for one year with sugar cane based biofuels imported from Brazil, you'd have to slash and burn 730,000 square miles of virginal Amazon Rainforest.
Biodiesel? A one months supply would take a farm the size of Texas and California combined.
Switchgrass? A farm the size of Alaska.
Green Algae? A farm the size of Arizona flooded three feet deep with water.
What about electric cars? Just because they do not directly give off "greenhouse gas" emissions does not make them zero emission vehicles. The electric plants give off emissions remember.
SO - DO we want to reduce our food supply and give over large swaths of our country to producing "gas" or do we want to get over this idiocy and drill?
Be sure to read the linked article for an indepth examination of the IDIOCY of biofuels.
