Right from the start, I stated that biodiesel is a great technology and my aim at The Biodiesel Report was not to stress any environmental issues involved and this is a perfect example of why I don't. Environmentalists are quite literally never pleased:
The destruction of the world's rainforests will be hastened by a Government pledge to ensure that five per cent of fuel should come from "green" sources, conservationists said yesterday ...
The new obligation is likely to stimulate imports and some fuels are not very efficient at saving carbon when their life cycle is taken into account. They involve burning crops that some might say should go to relieve famines.
We've all met people like this, complain about everything, offer nothing positive, ... we tend to avoid them.
