Are you wondering about biofuels? That turns out well. I publish on October 3, at Fayard, a book entitled: Hunger, the car, the wheat and us. Subtitle: a denunciation of biofuels. I have no reason to hide it: it is a combat book, because biofuels, a weapon of war and death, are already a planetary tragedy. In France, an overpowered lobby, hidden at the very heart of the Ministry of Ecology, defends the indefensible: to roll cars with food plants. To please industrial agriculture, the government is preparing to sacrifice a million hectares of fallow land, a refuge for ordinary biodiversity, that of field birds and small mammals.

And here is the comment I posted to the author of the book:

unfortunately this is not the case for all biofuels (especially those from algae).
But your work seems, at least in appearance (I haven't read it obviously), putting all biofuels in the same basket. I quote:
"because biofuels, a weapon of war and death, are already a planetary tragedy."
Not only is this also the case for petroleum but in addition there are other more "econologically" efficient biofuels. (but more or less ignored by "officials", lobbies?), see: https://www.econologie.com/biocarburant- ... -3388.html
