The disgraceful waste of food diverted to unnecessary biofuels causes far more misery.
- gambiting 3y ago>>The disgraceful waste of food diverted to unnecessary biofuels causes far more misery. In what way? There is far more than enough food anyway, and no one turns flour-grade wheat into biofuels. I'm not saying growing crops for fuel is the best idea ever, but I'm not exactly sure I understand how it's "causing misery" either?
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoNo in EU, but the production of biofuel from corn creates more CO2 than just burning gasoline. Some Biofuels are nothing but a waste of food. Maybe its a deliberate diversion tactics by the oil industry, just like the Carbon footprint campaign by British Petroleum. Or like carbon capture and storage, which just allows us to burn stuff for longer and provides no guarantees of long term containment. https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/us-corn-based-ethanol-worse-climate-than-gasoline-study-finds-2022-02-14/ https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/us-corn-based-e...
