"Biofuels Could Actually Increase Greenhouse Gases - Study"

http://www.tomshardware.com/2008/02/07/biofuels_could_actually_increase_greenhouse_gases_study/

i don't know if that's possible or maybe it's a false study [where they may have overlooked something or added other factors] because i'm not up-to-date on the new engineering of fuel [hydrogen, ethanol, etc...].

post your comments on this and what you think.

btw, i like the guys comment at the end of the article!

 

Interesting. Biofuels are no good anyway because with our current age we use more fossil fuels producing the biofuel than we would just using gas in the first place.

 

did you hear the "penn and teller: bullsh*t"' rant on recycling? brilliant

anyway, this thing about "biofuels" being mankinds answer is a load of (offensive english word) *sips on a cup of tea*

i haven't read the article, but it's clear from the off there are a few things very much wrong with this whole argument. i'm sure the article will talk about "stored carbon in plants/swamps/dead stuff".

unfortunatley, tell somebody "this might save the world" and everyone'll be all over it. Swarzenegger thinks he's doing the right thing, promoting biofuels. it's wrong. and average joe won't find out till it's 30 degrees in winter (UK).

brazil managed to get it right, because the resourceswere already there. they didn't need to clear forests to plant sugar cane, because they were already there. it was just a matter of turning that into fuel

oh, and if anyone does geography you might already know why brazil was forced to mke it's own fuel...

 

Yes, I've seen just about every Penn and Teller episode, including their TV show.

Theres a guy somewhere in the States who has his car running on vegetable oil from fast food restaurants! I saw it on the news a few weeks ago, it was crazy, I'll look for a viddy of it.

 

i saw that penn and teller bullshit on recycling. i don't know on it's quality of merit, but i do have to say that it's weird that when you recycle certain items they ask you to ensure that it is clean. this is typically on canned foods like dog food or those sloppy joe sause, it's garbage that will be recycled, why do i need to clean it up. it's weird that i need to clean garbage.

 

This is because some recycling centers want to throw it strait in the furnace to recycle, anything such as food residue and the like can make the recycled metal weak and useless. And yes they actually hire people to sort out your trash and wash out bottles and cans and such. Those people are employed by the government, and although you might not care about this now, your taxes are paying for those people to work. I always clean out my bottles and cans for recycling. Technically its not garbage at all, have you never heard the saying 'one mans junk is another mans treasure' Fact is recycling and garbage is a highly profitable business.
