other biofuel problems
Monbiot's article addresses the deforestation that certain biofuel production would lead to. But essentially biofuel production would worsen all the standard problems of chemical, large scale agriculture. At the moment it seems clear that the energy output in the form of biofuel is actually less than the energy input in the form of fossil fuel; if any way is found to produce such high yields as to raise the energy output, you can bet that such a method would hardly be sustainable. Exhausting our soil fertility is a far worse prospect than exhausting our fossil fuel reserves, with more consequences.On Some environmentalists wake up to the dangers of biofuels posted 3 years, 11 months ago 10 Responses
