Re: Ethanol cars run on human misery

Some long-foreheaded boffin type worked out if we convert the whole of the uk's farmland to biofuel production there would only be enough fuel produced to run Heathrow, leaving the other airports, cars trucks and vans dry ... and nowhere to grow our own food for those of us who buy local veg instead of Tescos value imported orange crunchy tasteless vegetable sticks ... carrots to you and me!

Who said biofuels were a hippy bandwaggon people jumped on too soon? Now the government has promised by the year 20-hurumphteen at least 5% of all fuel sold at the pumps has to come from biofuels, sorry poor African farmers, uk.gov needs your land to meet their targets.
