True to some extend, but re. biodiesel...
- turbo diesels can get great mileage, and upcoming diesel hybrids will really be awesome.
- biodiesel puts out significantly less CO2 than regular diesel, and less of the other pollutants too.
- what do you think all those seed crops and algae do with the CO2? It turns some of it back into O2.
- biodiesel has a much much better energy balance than current fuels which take more energy to drill/refine/transport/pump than you get out of them.
So it is so much better than what we have today without changing much - kinda a bridge fuel to whatever is next
