This program is a follow-up to the David Fridley interview. Full of more stunning statistics about how relatively little biofuels yield compared to our current consumption of gasoline and diesel. Data on biofuels are also difficult to interpret, so work understanding the infrastructure, labor and net energy outputs is needed on local scales. Because crops are crucial for food and feedstocks, we end by advocating more electrification of farm equipment and transportation and using biofuels as little as possible, perhaps as “waste” stream collection as in the local biodiesel production discussed in the show.
