Food for thought (or for fuel)

It takes three football fields worth of land one year to grow enough bio-fuel to fly across the Atlantic one time.

For every 1% you want to replace of gasoline with bio-fuel, you’d need 1% of the land in England. I hope their goal isn’t to go 100% bio-fuel.

Brazil uses sugar cane efficiently and competitively as a biofuel. In the U.S. we insist on using corn instead which costs more to produce than can be sold at current competitive prices.

There is a 250 year supply of energy from coal in the United States.

The source of energy for hydrogen cars is water. Ever since I’ve moved to Alabama four years ago, there has been a drought and calls for water conservation. If you think there is an international food crisis due to biofuels, imagine what would happen if there was no more water. Just like it’s the United States fault for global warming, it will then be the United States fault for global starvation. Al Gore is single handedly starving poor people and we’re all falling for it. I’m going to start buying stock in Poland Springs.

April was the coldest month on record in the U.S for the last 10 years.

Two brothers in Chicago modified a Toyota Prius to get 100 mpg, yet all the genius engineers at the U.S. automakers can’t seem to do the same thing.

Some of the data above is from this CNN article.
