RE: [DMCForum] Re: the EV1... vs Diesel

Wow. proof!  Who would'a thunk it? Pay attention, Bob.  :-)

 

This is interesting because most of the reports I had read stated it took
more to produce than the energy yielded.  I have also read that the amount
of land required to grow the crops was not sustainable in the US, so we
would be forced to import.  Is this refuted as well?

 

Here are two stories I just found.

This isn't true. It's a common line thrown out by people who are
against bio-fuels, but it's simply not true.
