There are former dairy farms in Dorset growing maize, which is harvested and then chucked into a biodigester to make methane without first passing it through a cow.
To me, this is wasteful, but not as bad as felling temperate rainforest on the west coast of north America, trucking across the continent, shipping it across the Atlantic in oil-burning bulk carriers, and transporting it by diesel train from Grimsby to the Drax power station, then burning it to make 'green' electricity with a higher carbon footprint per kw/hr than using local coal would have.

Re: premium fuel in a non premium bike ...?
Good point indeed--there is so much smoke, mirrors and bullshit around so called "green energy" all driven by big corporations and palm greased politicians making more money. The OPEC+ group are selling even more oil at market prices inflated by greed. Aramco (saudi) have just announced a $40 billion profit. We (the world) still don't seem to get it that we need to be honest and open and co-operate to reduce CO2 emissions. We certainly need a complete election and government change here in the UK-- a late evolution , but with a guillotine!Richard Simpson Mark II wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 11:51 am There are former dairy farms in Dorset growing maize, which is harvested and then chucked into a biodigester to make methane without first passing it through a cow.
