Is biofuel abundant?

Question

Is biofuel abundant?

Answer 1

it drives up food prices.  

If you make it abundant, you make food scarce.  Simple as that.

Answer 2

Biofuel isn't really a good idea. It takes away from the environment the organic matter that is needed by plants and animals. Case in point: We used a lot of corn to make ethanol and it took away a lot of food for humans and made corn products more expensive. Biofuels also wear the soil out since the plants that make up Biofuels are living and need nutrients from the soil. Once the nutrients are used up, the soil becomes useless without the addition of fertilizers. Fertilizers used on the farms are a non-renewable resource since you have to use Natural Gas to make it. Natural Gas is also in decline too. No matter what new energy source we try, it will take something that we don't have a lot of to make. The only exception would be solar or wind power. But these also require materials to make.

Answer 3

Abundant, renewable and sustainable

You can make fuel out of corn or manure.

There's always more manure!

Answer 4

As abundant as grass (switchgrass) and algae (which grow rampant requiring very little land use only for processing).

Using food based bio-fuels is a seriously bad idea promoted by the seed companies and the farmers. It also takes often more fossil fuel to produce these biofuels than you get out of them. I'm sure the oil companies love this fact.

The issue is not whether or not to use bio-fuels but which ones and how to go about it.

Answer 5

It's renewable and abundant. Jatropha tree will be planted on 40 million hectares of indian waste lands by 2012. Some experts believe that about 1 billion hectares of african waste lands are suitable for jatropha cultivation. Also there are hundreds of million good hectares free of cultivation in South America and Africa, that can be used for biofuel production while world population will increase less...

Answer 6

yeah. there are lots of people i think could made good bio-fule.

Answer 7

why sure.

as long as you don't want to eat too.
