It requires much fuel to grow and process, as well as stealing land that could grow food. Hybrids and electric vehicles also consume more fuel than can be recovered. Follow the production, refinging and all the steps invloved in the production and use of the alternatives. Go from cradle to grave. You can reduce fuel usage byat least half by using European technology, and vehicles. Mobilonce had a program for rating vehicles on the basis of miles per gallon (mpg) and ton-miles per gallon (tmpg). If you remove all the extra weight of the electric motors, batteries and associated machines from ahybrid, youcan improve the fuel mileage by at least 10%. Electric vehicles also require much more fuel to generate, tranmit, charge batteries, and then run the auto. There are many steps involved, and no step is 100% efficient. multiply each step's efficiency with the preceding step's efficiency to evaluate the overall decrease in power from the primary power source. Chase it down for yourselves to see how you are being misled. J. Hammond, Consultant Biodieselhas not been proven to be more efficient than regular diesel.
