Biofuels the key to investment

Biofuels the key to investment | Science & nature | The Australian:

"The US, where using biofuels is considered a patriotic act, will produce more than 24 billion litres of ethanol this year. Australia will produce only 125 million litres of ethanol (made from sugar cane, wheat or corn) and another 200 million litres to 230 million litres of biodiesel (made from vegetable oils or animal fat)."

If our farmers can grow canola for their own fuel uses then we need to look at commercial productions because the petrol prices are silly and we are constantly held to ransom. We need alternatives and if that means we have to do some straight talking, some decent bargaining and some sensible thinking to create the logistics for bio fuel to fuel our economy , well, let's get to it. Seriously, this is 2006. Get something cutting edge and space agey going.
