Of course it's a publicity stunt - what a trite and obvious thing to comment on.
They flew the plane specifically to get some exposure for the idea and I applaud them for that. The more people think of alternatives rather than sneering, the better.
Who knows, when your home is flooded and you're sat on the roof in a piss filled nappy, the helicopter that winches you to safety might be powered by biofuel. Be sure to wave them on their way and tell them to stop with their publicity stunts.
Whatever you say.
The point being that the biofuel,
as used in this instance isn't really an alternative, yet is being touted as one. The reference to algae based alternatives is almost an afterthought. I'd wager a significant portion of the general public have no real idea what biofuel is, how it's made and more importantly how it is being misrepresented, other than perhaps, that it's not from 'Iraq' and it sounds groovy because it has
bio in the name. It's only trite and obvious to some.
That this could be taken as a huge step forward when it really isn't was the ethos behind this thread; that people
shouldn't take such things at face value. After all, it's easier to do so when the alternative may require, actual
sacrifice.
Anyway, I don't know why I'm explaining this, you clearly seem to have a handle on the issue. But I do have one question; while I get the GW induced rising sea levels flooding my locale bit, I have to ask;
why would I be wearing a nappy?
I did pose the question;
Am I being too cynical? I think I deserve some credit for at least
anticipating such a trite and obvious response as yours.
Also, if you are who I suspect you may be,
hi.:smile:
