What are they thinking about it is a sort of musical energy chairs, where do they think the fertilizer comes from to put on the ground to produce the wheat mainly from natural gas which Britain will now be importing in greater and greater quantities you get an energy deficit when you convert the natural gas too fertilizer another when you convert it in to wheat another when you convert it into ethanol. plus the energy cost of building the infrastructure and transporting the different products a minimum of three times. Common sense should tell you that the most efficient use of wheat is for eating it is what you grow it for and you can get all the transport and more with out the energy losses by using compressed natural gas, without any of the intermediate steps. Tall lampposts and short ropes is the best solution to this form of idiocy. <br /><br />Deep regards<br /><br />DaveYorkshireminerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03364251607711042067noreply@blogger.com
