Where I live there are not trains. None. Buses are completely impractical, the nearest bus stop is over a mile away. Am I supposed to walk there at night or in the rain? Many many people live in suburbs where public transportation is impractical.

Hence why Papi said make it GOOD. As in improve it.

To **** with the UN banning biofuel, thats completely ridiculous. It burns cleaner, it costs less, and its a renweable, unlike fossil fuels.
Incidently, if food becomes expensive, won't more people take up farming? If there is a booming market, more people are attracted to it, and thus more people will take up the field in the interest of profit.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. It's clean, it's renewable, but there's not enough land for both eating and driving. Farmland is a limited resource, it's not like you can build more farms the way you build more factories.
 
Yeah, in places like MD and VA, its pretty suburban. The city isn't bustling with people trying to get to work, and its not the kind of place where your better off taking the bus than sacraficing an hour searching for a place to park. But hey, bicycle anyone?

A bicycle?
Not here. Traffic is terrible. It'd probably take about 5 minutes for someone in a car to hit you. And why can't you get more farmland? It's not like the entire country is devoted to it. And if anyone actually bothered to click on the links I provided they can make ethanol out of things other than corn. They are even researching ways to make ethanol out of corn stalks and leaves.
 
There are food riots in some parts of the world. China transports rice in armoured cars with armed guards. Burning our food to fuel our cars is not a magical solution. It's only going to make things worse.
 
Well China is dysfunctional country anyway.

I think they are the ones who started jumping up and clapping in excitement because Mentos made a chemical reaction with Coke.
 
I have herd that in the near futcher gas is suposed to hit $10 a gallon !!!! Saying your paying alot now... wate till then ....gas prices will just keep rising.....Big oil will make more money....and even if the oil ran out they already have there hands in alternative fuels so I don't think they have much to worry about......the futcher dose no look bright and I don't see our government or any other government. doing anything about it.

Since when are wood chips and horse manure food? Or even corn stalks for that matter. If you bothered to read up on the newest biofuels, many companies are working on making them from non-food sources.

That was Belgium, it was in a news report that they just did the worlds biggest mentos/coke volcano last week.

So you're either making biofuel from yet an even more limited renewable resource (takes a long time to grow a forest so you can cut it down), or you're going to base biofuel production on the few horse ranches that still exist in this world.

I think your missing the point. Wood chips come from lumber mills and other places. They would recycle something that is otherwise useless. I think your missing the point here. The more sources ethanol is made from the better it will work. Also they are working on making it from the corns stalks and switch grass. I suggest you read about things a little bit before you pass premature judgment on them.
 
Fair enough, I'm not stubborn enough to plead ignorance. But I'm still looking at it, there's no way either of those technologies are going to be cheap. The wood chip one would be fine if it wasn't such an intensive process. And we don't even use manure now as a fertilizer, and now we'd have to transport tons of the stuff just to make gasoline. I have my doubts that either of them, even added with what we're doing now with biofuel now, is going to make biofuel viable enough to replace non renewable sources.

It doesn't have to replace but just supplement. If we replace 10% of Fossil Fuels with Biofuel, we can cut the cost down by a bit, and stretch our supplies for 10% longer. It doesn't have to completely replace it, but it would be nice if we could make large ammounts to be able to no longer be reliant on Fossil Fuels that major gas companies rip us off for.

Source link. I gave you evidence to prove my point, by just saying "it was on so and so a while ago", you may as well just be blowing a razzberry on a cat.

Agreed. Supposedly this company is hoping to sell ethanol made from wood chips for about $1.80 a gallon by 2010. I think the main point is that ethanol can be made from many different things, and the more fuel we use that isn't gas the better.
