The point I am trying to make over and over is that solar, wind, bio fuels
all depend on solar energy collected and used immediately. Oil and coal
took millions of years to collect solar energy, compare that to only a few
months for bio fuels. That is why bio fuels, solar, wind, etc will always
be much more expensive and will not replace motor fuels.
