Fossil Fuels Better for Environment than Biofuels

Not a new topic here at SPIIDERWEB™. I've posted about this here, here and here.

This is fucking politics, folks. It ain't science. Its trying to appear like you're doing something about the US's reliance on oil while creating far worse problems.

It sounds counterintuitive, but burning oil and planting forests to compensate is more environmentally friendly than burning biofuel. So say scientists who have calculated the difference in net emissions between using land to produce biofuel and the alternative: fuelling cars with gasoline and replanting forests on the land instead. They recommend governments steer away from biofuel and focus on reforestation and maximising the efficiency of fossil fuels instead.

I'm nothing if not persistent.
