To grow the crops neccessary to make bio diesel feasible, it would require a HUGE amount of land development, destroying wildlife habitat in the process.
Let's not forget that with each crop rotation, the nutrients are being taken from the ground and have to be replaced, which would require fertilizer to be added EVERY year.
What about the pesticides that have to be applied to protect the growing crops every year?
And what about the fact that there are MILLIONS of starving people who could benefit from food crops being planted instead of fuel alternatives.
Any other thoughts? I am just curious as to what others think.
