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... When locusts move on, they leave nothing behind
All that dark green area producing ethanol in 2020?
I used Tribext for the links. When locusts move on, they leave nothing behind
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. When locusts move on, they leave nothing behind
