95% car usage driving range is less than 60 miles BUT occasionally (say 5%) long trips are a must. To make an EV-car worthy for this, you need a HUGE and EXPENSIVE battery just for rare necessities (5%), fraction of which will be used for 95% travel
In a plug-in hybrid, you need a SMALL and relatively CHEAP battery for daily electric miles (95%) and small ICE range extender for long travels (5%).
Do you now see what is the feasible option?
1. Energy returned to energy invested (EROEI) factor for biofuel is virtually 1 so it's not a NEW energy source. You need a lot of energy (oil included) to plant, fertilize (make fertilizers), harvest and transform it. It prevents no energy shortage problems, works only when subsidized
2. You need to use all arable areas on Earth (=no more food) to satisfy a small fraction of global oil demand

Toyota NUMBER 1!!!!! GMC number 2!! =[
Toyota 3 brands and hold most of the market,,,
GMC 7!!!! 7 BRANDS aND CANT EVEN GET ON TOP! =[
No more to say, the people has spoken, number talk bythemself.
#7 algea can double in size over night, and will probably be one of the leading forms.
#8 this can be used on normal cumbustion engine, with some mods. so existing engines can be converted, and not selling us on new cars we cant afford.
find a engineer to explain all this better, i dont have the vocab to get the job done over the interweb.
Stop it. I read enough scientific and analytical articles on theoildrum> energy is neede to make most all energy
Ratio matters. Early oil gave you 100 units of energy per 1 unit invested->unbeatable EROEI 100. Currently its 5 so still a source. Biofuels have 1, solve nothing> doesn't need to be from corn or suger alone
EROEI 1 is for best yielding crops
Don't even compare volume of moonshine needed to make rednecks wasted to volume needed by industry and transportation> who is telling you, you need alot of energy
True, hence plug-in hybrids> screw the globe this is for us
Use all corps in the USA to make biofuel and again a fraction of needs are met> oil is only needed for the tractor
Tell it millions of American car owners
In theory. Reality is you need to feed the colony with CO2 water solution to achieve serious grow. And there are still technical problems. And the price of such fuel will be very high> this can be used on normal cumbustion engine, with some mods
ICE is a steaming dog turd, forget it. It wastes 75% of fuel due to heat, only pressure increase propels. Electric motor losses are 15%
OK, I feel deeply sorry I wasted my time discussing the topic with you. You're just relentless in your points'n'facts-immune attitude. Go believe in your no-new-energy biofuel and start starving for the sake of satisfying a small fraction of oil demands. Me, on the other hand, I'll grab a plug-in hybrid.
BTW, I have MSc from a technical university.
its moonshine. means that is the process not the shiners are going to supply us all. why do you take the most drastic look at everything. solve nothing! i think making our on fuel will solve alot, no more ppl trying to blow us up because we take thier oil. you can make more power with a Ethanol engine than gas, plz tell me im wrong, so i can explain that to you also.
