You know, they did say one thing I agree with.
If we took the soy beans our farmers grow and press the soy oil out of it, then take the non-food corn and make ethenol, mix the two to make green diesel, we could still sell the soy paste left over to sell as food overseas AND reduce our dependence on foreign oil as well as helping our environment. I can't say I have a problem with that at all. Personally, I think this mode of fuel creation has been too long overlooked.

Probably because it's a net energy loser. |

Some of their points are good, but the problem with folks that "into" an alternative lifestyle is that they begin to address their beliefs with religious fervor, and expect that they can dictate to you what you can buy. Folks like that managed to keep new retail development in my town at bay for years, forcing people to drive to neighboring communities for many goods commonly available elsewhere.

 ^ Do you have to look like you rolled out of a dumpster to be a freegan? ETA: Holy crap. They actually have a picture gallery titled "Pictures of Dumpstered Goodies"....this is food they dig out of garbages and eat. Link to the pics: freegan.info/?page=Pictures |

Costs more energy to produce than what it produces? |

yep. the EROEI (energy returned on energy invested) is negative. to grow all those soybeans, you need fertilizer, water, pesticides, diesel for the tractors, etc etc etc.

Bullshit. Do a Google search on "Life Cycle Inventory on Biodiesel". It's an NREL study by Sheehan et al, BD is much more effiecient, life cycle wise, than petroleum diesel. Merlin |

A rich nation has the luxury of its some of its citizens being completely unproductive and worthless.
At what percentage do we say, "enough," or will our more motivated and tougher enemies eventually do us in as a result of our internal weakness? |

I've posted this before somewhere with links to the data, but the total annual carbon uptake(fixing atmospheric CO2) of all vegetation on the planet is equivelent to about .25% of our annual demand for hydrocarbons. If biodiesel could sustainably replace petroleum,even by utilizing the entire produce of the planet, Co2 levels in the air wouldn't be rising, because the CO2 emissions would be fixed faster than they were created. It's all carbon mining, it's just a question of where it's being mined from. Topsoil is the very worst place to be mining carbon for fuel. It takes literally millenia to build enough topsoil for agriculture, and we're already running into shortages in agricultural areas because tillage and harvesting depletes it. |
