What's missing here is any mention of sustainable biofuels. At our coop we run on recycled vegetable oil. We use solar thermal for process heat, run our fleet on B100 biodiesel, and return seven renewable BTUs for every one fossil required. Monbiot would love it. At our Industrial facility we run on chicken fat--again a waste product. I applaude your taking a swipe at unsustainable biofuels--but there are stop gap, community powered solutions to consider. Good point.
