Furthermore, the amount of energy which goes into /producing/ bio-fuels
is not negligible. It is by no means certain that using these "renewable
sources" as an alternative energy/fuel source is sustainable. Here is an
interesting blog piece about producing "*Ethanol from Corn: Neither
Renewable nor Reliable"* http://conversationsdesalon.blogspot.com/
We need to use /less/ energy, not only find alternative sources!

The yahoogroups version is only a mirror and 'members' there cannot post to the real sustran-discuss (even if the yahoogroups site makes it seem like you can). Apologies for the confusing arrangement.
