It is great to see Tesla Motors being as productive as they claim to be. I hope thier hard work will force the oldfashioned manufacurers to start concerning about eco-friendly products.
Thank you for sharing this story with me !
How much energy is used in the production of these BIO Fuels. For example I read somewhere that the Cornell and Berkeley Universties found that BioFuel from soybean plants needed 27% more fossil fuel to grow and manufacture than the fuel produced. - http://www.gmwatch.org/archive2.asp?arcid=6709
And also that Indonesia's Biofuel industry is causing the deforistation of their Rainforest for palm oil manifacture. The scary bit is that Indonesia's rainforest sits on 60% of the worlds tropical peat bogs and the draining of these bogs is going to release 50 billion tons of carbon. - http://www.climateark.org/alerts/send.asp?id=indonesia_peatland
