As the demand for green 'carbon neutral' bio-fuel increases, palm oil production
in Asia is being increased. To do this they BURN OFF more of their rainforest !
Carbon-neutral my ass !

So, a green political whim in Europe results in wholesale rainforest
destruction. BRILLIANT !
Yup.

Governementst should refrain from working out how to save energy:

It had nothing to do with Government.

It's the 'green movement' with its promotion of bio-fuels that's resulted in high
demand from the public 'to appear green' that can't be met from indigenous supply
which is in turn destroying rainforests.

Oh, the irony !


Indeed: Tax fossil fuel. henlet hatever technologies are cost effective
come up.

If rainforests are Good Things, tax anything that happens as a result of
rainforest destruction, and pay subsidies to people managing rain forests.
