Bio Fuels

Bio fuels are now being strongly promoted to be used incorrectly.

The use of food to fuel our power requirements is evil. Too many people in the world cannot get enough to eat now, or are not able to eat healthily, and people want to use food for power. The lesser availability and rising costs of many foods will be the outcome.

The bio in bio fuels should be from the stocks/husks, not the fruit of the plants. Methane burning can assist in our power requirements, reduce the hot-house damage caused by the release of methane into our air, and help the farmer.

Adding wind, solar and methane generators on the family farms can help the farmer cut costs and reduce the environmental waste and destruction that is needed to get refined fossil fuels. Additionally they could use their excess to split water to capture the oxygen and hydrogen that can be used or sold, or fed back onto the electrical grid.

Installing a single wind turbine in an area would not be as noisy, or as dangerous to flying creatures, as opposed to a wind turbine farm. Wind turbine, and large solar, farms should be as limited as we can get away with and those sites very carefully chosen.
