UC Santa Cruz: New chemical process makes biodiesel production easier, less energy intensive

[NNadir]

1. We're in a great position to reproduce the 1998 fires from Malaysian slash and burn rain forest clearing for biodiesel.

Selvakumar Dhandapani, Stephanie Evers, Oil palm ‘slash-and-burn’ practice increases post-fire greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient concentrations in burnt regions of an agricultural tropical peatland, Science of The Total Environment, Volume 742, 2020.

Why the hell not? All of the other so called "renewable energy" fantasies have left the planet in flames, so what do we have to lose? We've been fucked by renewable energy fantasies already, so let's throw caution to wind.

And when the monoculture palm oil plantations burn themselves after high temperatures and drought, why the newly formed deserts would make great locations for industrial solar parks.

No sense of decency, none.
