Try reading the publication dates (they're even a part of the URLs posted
above).

Todd's reference supercedes Sven's by 3 months.

Unfortunately for biofuel fans there's no Perpetual Motion Machine here,
either.

The scheme *might* have a chance IFF [If and only if] no fertilizers, no
pesticides, and no motorized vehicles were to be used in the process of
growing the plants, harvesting, and transporting the components.

IOW, those dedicated to living "off the web" in the remotest areas who
have returned to animal power might be able to benefit but not on a
commercial scale.

I believe liquid fuel from plants should be profitable with the right
technology and I would hate to see it written off just yet. There are far
too many things that were deemed impossible or improbable only to find out
otherwise, to point at something and say no way! We must keep the course we
are on.
