Keep me posted on that hydrogen economy though.

Who said anything about hydrogen? I was talking about nuclear...

I've said it several times, I'll say it again: there is not enough suitable farm acreage to grow bio diesel crops in sufficient amounts to meet our fuel needs. Not now, not ever. The potential energy of the system is just too low. And, furthermore, even if the potential energy of the system was high enough, that high fuel yield crop would quickly deplete the soil. You can over plant and over cultivate your land.

Biofuels can be a good partial solution. Remember, the bio-fuels process produced food AND fuel.

I have yet to hear any elected official familiar with the industry make the claim that such a thing is even contemplated.

Increased production doesn't result in increased cultivation, just the opposite.

My best corn ground came in at over 200 bushels per acre last year. The ground was cultivated far less to produce that crop than it was 75 years ago when my grandfather was happy with a yield of 25 bushels per acre.
