Presenting rapeseed oil-based agrofuels as "good for the environment" and "good for the wallet", you really have to dare! Agrofuels (whatever the sector) have a disastrous environmental and health impact, and they are very expensive. A person who seeks to preserve the environment and health (and that we can qualify as "green" even if the word is reductive and has taken on a particular connotation in France) of course does not use agrofuels and does not use an engine having 20% of output in cycle of ordinary use [...]
There is of course no personal attack in this message. It is the belief that resorting to agrofuels is ecological which is attacked, it is completely the debate of idea.
I have every right to say (and many other experts have the same opinion) that agrofuels, whatever the sector considered (Ethanol, cellulosic ethanol, HVP, biodiesel) have a very poor yield ( less than 1%), that this has as a corollary a disastrous environmental impact, and that they constitute a dead end.
As you have every right to think otherwise and I respect your point of view. I'm not going to call you a "burner", like you did above, or a "little head" because I don't agree with you, it's a lousy technique to fall into it. invective.
Woodcutter wrote:the basis of the reflection is false
There you are right in the debate of idea (that said you do not demonstrate how this basis is false, so it is a worthless assertion).
Woodcutter wrote:on the other hand, it is an abusive generalization
There also you express your idea of the subject, but it is a free affirmation, therefore worthless.
To grow oilseeds to get PVH, you use arable land, and a lot of arable land since the yield is 0,2-0,3%. The global UAA is limited. The world's population is increasing. 1/3 to 2/3 of the deforestation in recent years has been caused by the development of energy crops, according to a Stanford study.
For Jean Ziegler, expert, UN Special Rapporteur for the Right to Food, "using land to produce agrofuels is a crime against humanity".
I completely agree with his analysis on this point.
