We had an enthusiastic biofuel discussion here at ET quite some time ago before it became mainstream. Was it not you Afew who did some calculations that pointed out the problems ahead with land use?

And that's my point about the Commission ignoring (our) reasoned input to the consultation and now resorting to a poll.

At least the poll uses an open question and not the leading, loaded questions we complained about in the Energy Green Paper Consultation.

My point is it's worth answering NO even if the procedure isn't right.

I was just being facetious. Or scholastic, if you prefer.

I started out here, and we wrote ET's contribution to the EC's Biofuels Consultation collectively. I updated the numbers recently here.
