While I wouldn't begin to suggest that biofuels could save our bacon with respect to the likely economic consequences of any peak in oil "production" (extraction), one could perhaps make the argument that some limited production of biofuels <I>without the use of petroleum</I> might be worthwhile if they allowed for very targeted use of the existing petroleum powered infrastructure. I won't speculate about what those targeted uses might be (since I'm far too ignorant to do so effectively), but I can imagine they may exist. This doesn't allow for ultimate replacement of those tools, but it could ease the transition. Then again, at 6 to 1, you'd have to be really desperate for that oil-powered tool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
