Some years back, I did a back of the envelope calculation using the sum of the annual palm oil production of both Malaysia and Indonesia, and found that it would satisfy US domestic automobile needs for three weeks. Now remember, we are talking about countries drenched in tropical rain, and grow the stuff like it’s going out of style. So anyone who thinks the lowly avacado pit is the answer to our energy demands needs to visit a psychiatrist.
Remember that idiotic statement by Bush during the SOTU speech where he brought up ‘saw grass’ as a means to ease our fuel crisis?
That’s a good Palm reading.
Greenie renewable fuel types are rarely grounded in thermodynamic reality. Hence windfarms.
Personally, I’m with Homer:
