You have to come up with a much better argument than that. And please quit about critical thinking. That is just blowing dust in the wind to create a smoke screen.
You might want to try some dope or LSD it might mellow you out and clear your mind of all of the hostility you have.
This stuff helps a lot of people think more clearly. Looking at your posts, just thought it might help.

No. Critical thinking is what exposes scams and bullshit from the very star and avoids a lot of people getting suckered into things that are garbage.
They are anything BUT a smoke screen, they are a smoke screen destroyer. Asking questions to see if hype lives up to fact is something people with something to hide hate and something that people whom have come up with something good love because it proves their legitimacy.
There are a lot of sheeple that just go with whatever they are told and never question or examine it. These are the people scammers and Polititians as well as big business love because they can sell them shit sandwiches without the bread and they just buy them and never complain because they are too damn stupid to think for themselves.
You are very pro Bio fuels but I'd like to know exactly to what extent you use them yourself. Do you run your Vehicle on E-85 or pure ethanol? How long have you been doing it? Does your Mrs also run her car on Bio Fuels ( if you have one) and what sort of cars do you have?
I have been running my vehicles and others in the family on and off on veg oil for 16 years. I run generators and burners on it for heating water, metal casting and other things. I have helped people around the world build veg burners for Drying grain, heating greenhouses to replace LPG and run farming and industrial equipment on it.
If anyone knows about Biofuels including alchol in a practical sense, blowing my own trumpt or not, You are going to have to go a ways to find someone that has had more free time on their hads to look into it and more importantly, get their hands dirty doing all kinds of testing and practical use than me.
All that said, and with all the benefits Bio fuel has given me over the years, my belief it will contribute anything remotely significant to the worlds energy consumption is zero. has been for the last 16 years and in all that time, when they have been talking about breakthrough just around the corner the whole time, My opinion has only changed from highly unlikely to no way in hell.
Maybe in time some token percentage of fuel we use might be from bio sources, 3-5% but I think that's overly optimistic anyway. In real terms though it will be nothing because Bio fuels CANNOT exist without oil energy input AND, the yield from bio fuels has never been greater than a breakeven for the liquid and electrical energy input.
Again I ask you to put your money where your beliefs are. Give us some numbers that we can use to see if Biofuels will be a hit or a miss in a certain number of years. How long will it be do you think with all these marvelous technology's will it take before Bio fuels are 1% of the worlds total liquid fuel supply? give us some other numbers to go by as to what the contribution of bio fuels is going to be over a certain time line.
Not looking for or remotely interested in any scientific fact, Just what YOU believe the Bio fuels contribution will be within a certain time frame based on your reading and opinion.
Interested to hear how you use biofuels and for how long you have done so. Do you have any investments in bio fuel interests?
The car guy John Cadogan, do you know much about him? I've watched many of his YouTube videos and have found his scientific explanations about cars and fuels to be spot on. I'm wondering how he's received where you are. His video on biofuels was very good.
Interestingly you never provide any scientifically sound sources (IOW reports with factual numbers) which support your opinion. Some guy ranting on Youtube doesn't count.Dude the videos are just not “some guys”. These are well educated experts with scientifc backgrounds who are well respected. They use critical thinking skills and science to support their positions. There’s not marketing hype or belelifs, just the language we all understand science.You mean the Australian car sales guy? Like he has the qualifications to proof several independant projects, in which at least a billion dollars of private money has been invested, wrong... You have to come up with a much better argument than that. And please quit about critical thinking. That is just blowing dust in the wind to create a smoke screen.
There you go again making shit up. John Cadogan is just one of the many people I have referenced. They are sure as shit better than that one marketing web page from several years ago about biofuels. Well several years have past and biofuels have failed miserably to meet the numbers in the documents you keep referring to.
Are you saying you are not a critical thinker? If so explains why many of your posts are so silly. Stop inhaling the biofuel fumes and get a whiff of science. If it were not for critical thinking skills and science were would we be?
Excellent reply. I suspect you will not receive a reply or a bunch of nonsense from him. I would be surprised if he answers your questions.
Excellent reply. I suspect you will not receive a reply or a bunch of nonsense from him. I would be surprised if he answers your questions.You were spot on and 100% Correct.
Replied to you and has posted 3 other reply's at this time but skipped the questions I asked.
What the hell does my use of bio-fuels have to do with what is being developed in that area?
I have looked at using E85 but that is unavailable where I live. Otherwise I probably would have fitted an E85 conversion kit on my car. The conversion kits are pretty cheap and easy enough to install.
Now please add something to the discussion which has some scientific grounds.
Perhaps you care to provide some numbers and results from your experiments with bio-fuels.
BTW if you think bio-fuels don't count then check this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldwide_energy_supply. In 2012 bio-fuel and waste already provided 10% of the world's energy.

I'm surprised you like Cadogan. I would have thought he was too direct and "Uptight" for you.
Cadogan is not well liked in the industry here. He makes predictions that seem far fetched and ridiculous at the time but have a nasty and unfortunate habit of proving to be spot on. HE also calls things as he seems them and does not pander to the industry interests.
He has made several predictions about our car industry that the media went to pains to ridicule and quoted him with the hosts of several programs openly laughing at him and basicly calling him stupid and a nutter.
They weren't laughing when he said something would happen within 10 years and it happened exactly as he said within 8. He gets to put them ridiculing him on his channel now and laugh at them for being such indignant and wrong buttwipes.
He's not too PC but he has a habit of being very spot on with what he says no matter how many vested interests don't like it. There is another major prediction he made about 9-10 years ago about a local manufacturer about to come true any time now. He was laughed at when he said that too.
Looks very much like he will have the last laugh yet again.
My favorite vid of his is the Tesla Cult Vid. If anything proved how right that was it's the load of comments on the vid proving EXACTLY what he said. Man must be laughing at the number of hits and comments that one has got from the sooking fanbois.
Not that the point of that vid wasn't painfully obvious to all that have a brain to think for themselves and don't need some TV type preacher to think for them.
Meanwhile, the beat goes on...
EV sales continue to grow. Especially impressive in light of the fact that total auto sales have been flat or down for several months now.

Light truck sales have recently made up about 2/3 of total US auto sales. (Yes Americans like their big SUVs and trucks).
So comparing apples to apples, 50K of EV sales in December is approximately 10% of the US car (not light truck) market.
Regardless - what's important is the growth rate.
Considering that 10 years ago there were essentially no EVs - the continued its exponential growth rate in the setting of a flat US auto market is a sign that EVs continue their march to eventually becoming the majority of new car sales.
Yes, that is still several years away but it is coming. The data makes that clear.
EV sales have continued their rapid growth rate despite overall auto sales growth being flat.
1.6 million auto sales in the US for December 2018 is accurate but includes light trucks (trucks, SUVs, vans). Considering that at this time there are essentially no EV models available in those categories that is a poor comparison. (Though a large number of EV s in the light truck category are being released in the next 2 years).
SUVs aren't light trucks
there are EV SUVs on the market.
Funny how some get all worked up by facts that disagree with their narrative.
When my oldest turns 16 in a little over 3 years, I plan to give him my Volt and get an EV pick up. Then I can sell my Toyota Tundra, the last pure ICE vehicle I’ll likely ever own.

You might end up selling the Volt and keeping the Tundra.
