For example, the researchers say, if 10,000 square metres of Brazilian rainforest is cleared to make way for soya beans – which are used to make biodiesel – over 700,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide is released. The saving generated by the resulting biodiesel will not cancel that out for around 300 years. In the case of peat land rainforest in Indonesia, which is being cleared to grow palm oil, the debt will take over 400 years to repay, the scientists have found. Personally I love the concept of making biofuels from algae grown on sewage farms. And one question to ask in this world of information and misinformation has to be - "is bullshit as good for generating energy and "hot air" as human faeces from a sewage works?"
