pretty simply
petrol is obsolete, it has been obsolete for decades...
the causes for war used for the last few decades have been distraction, deception.
it's something people maybe have become numb to, the fact that the president of the United States is an oil millionaire, and heir...and that the wars have been in oil rich eras. Now war is seeming to brew in Venezuela.
so i point this out to people who might still be "horny for peace", concerned, vital for peace -- as i know that there are many Nihilistic and Fascist types of people who champion the cause of greater aggression and war...they seem dumb.
As in stupid.

It’s very hard to imagine how we can see the world growing enough crops to produce renewable energy and at the same time meet the enormous demand for food,” he told a conference on sustainability in London yesterday.
“The supply of food really isn’t keeping up.

they have large tracks of land that could be planted with all sorts of crops

oil from algae looks about the best, to me. there is still work to be done on designing a year-round mass scale algae reactor (closed system as opposed to ponds), but the hypothetic yields look impressive.
i think, too, that it is best to think about this problem on a local level, with local co-ops producing as much bio-fuel as possible for the local community; surplus can then get bumped to the regional level, regional surplus to state, ect.
trying to think about how much we consume nationally and addressing that scale just blows everyone out of the water, so to speak.
divide and conquer!

Kunstler on the Colbert Report
i know a handful of folks using biodiesel,
one who teaches/make videos on conversion,
but are also admitting biodiesel pollutes the ground
AND algae does appear to be awesome
Lord knows what messing with algae will do to the harmonic balancing, though
... haven't heard anyone speculate

Seems he is often saying what he thinks the more outspoken of the general public is saying in response to, or defensively towards, those he interviews.
Was similar in an interview with the guy who wrote Breaking Open The Head

In reply to: Lord knows what messing with algae will do to the harmonic balancing, though fortunately, there are naturally occurring algae that are 50% lipids...take the lipids, and then turn the rest of it into feed or methane. and added bonus, algae loves to feed on sewage, human or livestock, so we can turn shit into fuel! unfortunately, there are those who'd love to tinker with the genes, and i'm assuming that's what you're expressing your concerns about.

Millions of people across the world are facing hunger and starvation due to the current food crisis. According to experts, the crisis will continue as long as those who dominate the international grain markets remain unwilling to change their behavior.
As food supplies are diminishing, for instance, the government released measures to increase the use of biofuels -- a policy that will further increase food prices.
Biofuels are taking food out of the mouths of starving people and diverting them to be burned as fuel in the car engines of the world’s rich consumers.

Farmers in Rajasthan, India are forsaking their gas-guzzling tractors and returning to using their trusty camels for haulage. Due to rising gas prices farmers are rediscovering the "ships of the desert". The price of a good camel has gone up sharply as a result: two years ago they were almost the same price as goats, now they are three times the price. A good male camel will live for 60-80 years, costing $973, while the cheapest tractor is $4,000. This is good news because camel populations have been falling the past ten years.
Camels have a long and regal history in India. Traditionally they were used by maharajas and had great status as did their breeders. Now decreasing amounts of grazing land and lack of investment in the existing lands have resulted in inadequate nutrition and lowered the resilience of the herds. Camel slaughter is forbidden in India but in fact sources believe that it is rampant, with the meat exported to Bangladesh. Not only is the use of camels being promoted but also its by-products such as camel milk, camel leather handbags and camel bone jewellery.

Also for USA What Happens When Gasoline Exceeds US$7.00 Per Gallon?
expt:
Will there be any domestic airlines left? The so-called legacy airlines (American, United, Northwest, Delta and Continental) would either try to combine into one big carrier or simply disappear. They're having serious troubles surviving as it is. This means big troubles for cities where these airlines operate hubs that generate thousands of jobs like Atlanta, Cleveland, Newark, Houston, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Memphis and Minneapolis-St. Paul.
How will big convention cities survive? Places like Las Vegas, New Orleans, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, San Francisco and Houston have thriving convention industries, all built around the capacity of airlines to transport conventioneers to and from the destinations relatively cheaply. Emphasis on the word "cheaply."
How will tourist destinations like Florida or Hawaii cope? Add to that places like, say, Williamstown, Mass., whose Williamstown Theater Festival is a big draw, or Ashland, Ore., home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. They're not close to major cities. (my answer: whaaa Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha)

my gist reminds me of the prerogative that --- problems aren't solved in the same dimension from which they were created
