Taking down my vegoil page

[andygates]

I have removed my (absurdly popular) vegoil as fuel page for a short time.

Biofuel isn't turning out to be quite as glorious as we'd hoped. It's great fuel, but it's also a valuable cash crop. Valuable enough for some farmers to screw up their environment for a quick buck.

It would be tragic if biofuel, instead of being a great green hope, turned out to be this year's strip-cleared rainforest eco-crime. Until I've run the numbers, I am therefore removing these instructions.

Palm is the big eco naughty, it's being cultivated in a very short-termist way.

A good algae reactor really should just be an industrial facility like any other - just like a refinery. I wonder if there's a glitch in the scaling, or if they're just not getting funded?

Space lasers. It's the only way.
