  Laudable mistake

  As good as it may seem to try and wean the modern baby from the teat of oil with green-grown fuels, think for a moment about the land area required to produce these biofuels.
  Crude oil is highly concentrated plant and animal matter; the distillation of centuries of anchored sunlight. The problem is not only the effects of carbon release in such a short period, it is also the simple gross over-use of energy.
  Look at it as an addiction - tobacco, cocaine, heroine or whatever - and see biofuels as the side-effect wonder-drug that will let you keep your high, allow you to function normally and heal you at the same time.
  Doesn't that sound good?
