He should be arrested for saying such things.....Where's the Climate Police?
To: Sub-Driver
He will tell the seminar that promoting the use of biofuels is likely to increase greenhouse gas emissions.
Deniar!

I thought he was going to talk about the CO2 given off in te fermentation process - shouldn’t that be counted as part of the CO2 (now it’s cliche time!) “footprint” of ethanol and such?

And I thought that Jack Daniels, Smirnoff, et al should be taking the lead in ethanol fuels. You’d think they know how to do this kinda thing....

“Roland Clift will tell a seminar of the Royal Academy of Engineering that the plan to promote bioethanol and biodiesel produced from plants is a scam.”
Corn growers are deeply saddened.

We need to go back to hunting whales as a source for fuel.

If all the corn in the United States were used for ethanol production, it would supply about 15% of the nation’s gasoline needs and we would have very little to eat.

Well of course they’re a scam! Just like HOV, or carpool lanes which only work as long as no more than 3% of the population actually uses them ;’}

BioDiesel made from algae grown at powerplants where the algae are “fed” the CO2 output from power generation seems to make sense to me.

Actually, you misspelled it.
It’s “denier”.
But yes, you’re absolutely right. Anybody who questions any non-proven scientific, pseudo-scientific, quasi-scientific, or out-and-out non-scientific assertion — as long as the assertion is made by the High Priests of the Global Church of Environmental Correctness — are automatically “deniers”.
You don’t get to question pronouncements handed down by Environmentalists.
That goes without saying.
