<Which is different than crude that has stored CO2 after millions of years and are liberated into the atmosphere.> That's why crude oil is better than sugar cane. One reason anyway. Contrary to what the doomster greenhouse effect people say, we need that carbon dioxide recycled back in the ecosphere where it belongs for a sustainable future. Earth had been dying for hundreds of millions of years as the atmosphere was stripped clean of CO2 and buried in vast graves of limestone, shale, oil and gas and otherwise solidified into the crust, unavailable to form life and the cocoon that is Gaia's atmosphere. For all we know, we were about to go into a permanent freeze from pole to pole, never again to see life anywhere on Earth. That was the trend. Happily, Gaia produced us at just the right moment, to bring those umpty billion tonnes of carbon back to life. Life is what it's about. The more life the merrier. CO2 is the foundation of life. The basic building block which feeds the ecosphere. Plants struggle to get light and CO2 and water. There's no shortage of light and water. But CO2 is thin in the atmosphere now, but we have brought it back up to a reasonable level. If we could get another 100 ppm into the atmosphere, that would be great. If we all used sugar cane and biodiesel from places like Brazil, we risk plunging into the permanent freeze. Mqurice
