and if, hopefully when, the investment gets redirected bio will become more plausible
Well.... not really. The problem is still that it simply uses too much agricultural land area exclusively to produce the biofuels. As I said, it's a fantastic thing as a by-product or in similar situations, but when you start essentially farming biofuels for their own sake, that brings a whole host of issues with it too.

It is a hope, but I have just read that red tunnel ferries are investing in this, so it is happening now to some extent. In Germany diesel at the pump is a minimum percentage bio. We are also not factoring in that petrochemicals are sustained by subsidies and if, hopefully when, the investment gets redirected bio will become more plausible. Long term, there isn’t enough oil.
