15. Oh. I see. I must have been mistaken. I thought you took biofuels seriously.

Apparently not.

Presumably then, you'll be willing to tell this German to fuck off:

And of course you'll approve of this German utility's plan not to convert a British plant from dangerous fossil fuels to biofuels on the grounds that they couldn't find "sustainable" biofuel anywhere on this planet:

http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/natural_resources/article1265575.ece

A leading German utility has abandoned plans to convert a British power station to run on palm oil, in a blow to the promotion of biofuels in Europe. The decision by RWE npower to scrap the project at its Littlebrook plant in Dartford, Kent, which was seen as a test case for palm oil as an alternative energy source, comes after it was unable to secure sufficient supplies without risking damage to tropical rainforest. The move highlights the mounting alarm over the scramble in South-East Asia to bring more land into palm oil cultivation.


These cutesy schemes always seem really, really nice until someone goes to try them.

I, of course, do not suffer from the moral stain that lies on the anti-nuke religion, the religion that says we either choose the tigers or the dangerous fossil fuel.

We'll strike this plant from the big, big, big, big "percent talk" renewable energy portfolio standards calculation, then.

I guess we're back to watching Gerhard Schroeder suck up to Vlad Putin for money then, are we not?
