Video from Real Engineering... Why Biofuels Are Terrible
Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpEB6hCpIGM
Burgess COMMENTARY
I have not 'fact checked' the detail of this video presentation but it looks like it has been well researched and is solidly science based. I have thought for a long time that biofuels were not going to be a step forward towards a better environmentally responsible transport sector, and this presentation supports my thinking so much more powerfully than I ever expected. The various articles that support the conclusions in this video are referenced below.
