Last week friends of the mud or save the sky or whatever came up with the stunning news that bio-fuels were bad for the planet.
We really should have seen this one coming.
Here is my prediction for the future. Just so long as it involves the continuation of personal transport, hippies and grass weavers will always find a reason for rubbishing any fuel alternatives until we are all back telling folk stories around the camp fire and riding unicycles.
The latest argument goes that by giving over acreage to growing maize and grasses to make fuel we are starving the starving people even further.
On top of that bio fuels will use up all the world’s water.
Well hold on a second. Ultimately the best crop for bio fuel will be grass, that’s grass like the stuff that grows wild across the prairie and tundra wastes of the world. It is hardly likely that Exxon will site the first field on the outskirts of Darfur.
And with regard to H20. God does the watering in these areas, have a word with him.
I can hardly wait to read the environmental objections of BMW’s news that next week a fleet of eight hydrogen powered cars will be delivered to the UK.
Almost no emissions and one of the by products is water.
Perhaps we can collect this in buckets and pour it over the heads of Swampies who think we should all be living up trees singing we shall overcome.

The only way to protect the environment is to do away with cars. They pollute the atmosphere and are killing the planet. What kind of future are we creating for our children? I say you should be writing about ways of helping the environment not killing it.
