By Mike Pope, published 14/12/2009

Unless biofuels are able to compete with electricity there is no economic reason for their production for transport.

Mike,
A good discussion but a few points could be added.

Natural gas will be used a lot more and the world is gearing up to exploit it. There is talk of a 'gas OPEC'. This will compete with electricity.

Another source of fuel is to use what we have frugally. I know 'frugality' is a dirty word but frugality will stretch existing supplies of oil a long way with least pain. (Until Peak Oil really hits)
cheers
