Well, they are talking about GREEN. NRDC should not complain, it is 100%
renewable in less than 1 year should be continuously available and
renewable. 25% more energy returned than used to produce it.
If not for use in automotive realm, what about electricity generation?
It'd be better than Coal... particulate from Bio-Diesel should be less
than a coal based generator and much more capable turbine fuel.
Bah, it'll never happen... ethanol (which takes 7% more energy to make
than it produces) is being pushed HARD. Heck, even sugar beets are
better than Corn. But those that go against ADM are going to feel it
sooner or later (sooner is more likely)
