Luis argued in it that a back-of-the-envelope calculation showed that the EU could very easily produce the biofuels needed for the EU target of 10% by 2020. He concludes: Luis de Souza - Adris Piebalgs : getting a sense of proportionthe EU needs to allocate thirty five million (35 000 000) hectares to bio-fuels production. I live in state that has an area of less than 9 million hectares. Germany has an area just over 35 million hectares. <...> Good or evil? Friend or foe? This kind of wording doesn't fit in my Engeneering/Architecture dictionaries. Bio-fuels are not an option, it's all a matter of numbers.

Well, if he was dismissing biofuels, I apologise to Luis for misunderstanding him. What I say above then comes as further reflection and corroboration...
All that dark green area producing ethanol in 2020?
I used Tribext for the links.
So Luis thinks, as we all do, that biofuels as charted by the EU is nonsense. Sorry, Luis, for getting that backwards.
What I present above stands, all the same. Yet more, and more precise, reasons why the 10% target will only produce negative effects.
