So, rely on OPEC and domestic facking for fuel? At best, biofuels from canola & palm make up <10% of diesel fuel blend.

- agentultra 8y agoI'd like to see a reduction in all sources, impractical as that may seem right now. Palm oil extraction, along with soy crops, has led to massive deforestation in many regions which contribute directly to threatening biodiversity and climate change[0]. It seems unrealistic right now to stop using any source of fuel but I don't really see nature waiting for us to figure it all out. So yes.. reducing fuel use in general is good, palm oil based products are easy to avoid and don't need to be so massively subsidized.
