Biofuel Bollocks

Biofuels! The answer to all the worlds ills? I think not.

Now don't get me wrong, there is a lot of research into Biofuels at the minute. A lot of good research too. I'm all for that idea that we can grow crops, make breakfast cereal out of one bit, ferment the other bits into alcohol so I can get pissed cheaper and then with the remainder of what's left make a biofuel. A fuel that sucks carbon out of the air as it grows and then when it burns in a car engine, only gives out the same amount of Carbon Dioxide. Thus being "Carbon Neutral".

Great idea I think, as long as I can run my car cheaper.

Unfortunately everyone suddenly thinks this is the answer to all the worlds growing climate problems. So as a result, some bleeding-heart, cous cous eating, hemp sandal wearing, tree shagging wankers think that because we have this small technological breakthrough......... lets punish anyone who doesn't use it!

Who shall we punish?????? AIRLINES!!!! Yes that's right those massive businesses who have such a strong and stable foothold on the world economy? No, the one industry who have been through hell in the last 5 years, shed millions of jobs and are barely surviving. Let's punish them!

All these hole dwelling, protesting Greenpeace arseholes are under the impression that it'd be great to tax airlines out of the air. Well get in line sweethearts, my old mate Mr Al Qaeda is already hell bent on frightening the shit out of everyone who steps on a plane. The last thing air travelers need is a brainless twat trying to force the airlines to run jet engines on Olive oil, or tax people for the pleasure of using oil derivative fuel.

The world economy has driven the need and demand for air transport. Without a question of a doubt air transport, whether it be cargo shipments or SLF (Self Loading Freight, work it out for yourself) the world economy relies on my industry to survive. Countries which haven't before had a pot to piss in have seen a step change in their economies with the advent of cheap air travel for tourism and import/export of goods.

I can't see what good pricing airlines and passengers out of the air will have for the environment. Yes we will have slightly better chances of reversing the onslaught of climate change, but at the same time people will simply pay more money for the privilege, economies will suffer and more and more people will be out of jobs.

Was climate change known about at the time of the industrial revolution? Imagine if you will that industry leaders of the day were approached by a 'Government Think Tank' crewed with a bunch of Organic Rice Cake eating University Post Grads and suggested that their interests were harming our beautiful Earth and maybe they should consider some less polluting alternatives alternatives to Coal. I'd like to think that they'd be taken outside and given a jolly good thrashing to within an inch of their worthless lives, just to teach them a lesson.

I think things should be the same today. All the fuckwits who are eager to appear on Newsnight blathering on about the benefits of fueling aircraft with 'Biofuel alternatives' should be sent skyward in a 747, over the mid Atlantic, full of Vegetable Oil, to learn a stark lesson in the freezing points of liquids. Namely that, at minus 56 degrees centigrade, most things other than jet fuel (including self righteous politicians) will FREEZE, rendering them useless (self righteous politicians become useless at anything nearing room temperature).

I guess what I'm saying is that there is a good reason that aircraft with jet engines need to use this type of Oil derivative fuel. Contrary to popular opinion there is not a department in each airline trying to work out how to best pollute the planet. I suggest that if the people who are so concerned with pollution want to do something proactive about it,stop trying to intercept Oil tankers by blockading them with 13ft rubber dinghies, disembark from 'The Rainbow Warrior' and go to Uni, get yourself a real and worthwhile degree, say in Physics or Mechanical Engineering and solve some problems.

Lets line these dissenters up against a wall and shoot them in cold blood. That will significantly reduce the amount of Carbon Dioxide emissions they produce whilst spouting politically correct shite. Need any volunteers for the firing squad, I'm your man. I'll work overtime too, without pay!

Pricks!
