please give specific answers/ examples…
basically my question is: what health problems can arise from fossil fuels and how can biodiesel impact on these?
Over the past two years I have made an uncomfortable discovery. Like most environmentalists, I have been as blind to the constraints affecting our energy supply as my opponents have been to climate change. I now realise that I have entertained a belief in magic.
Biodiesel produces exactly the same greenhouse gases as traditional diesel does. The idea is that the majority of the carbon goes though a cycle of being absorbed in the plants.
But to me it has two problems. One being that modern farming actually emits lots of carbon. The other, and more important factor, is land should be used to feed people, not cars. There are people hungry in the world, and we are wasting crops on making fuel instead of food? Lunacy.
