The holy grail of biofuel production is finding a feedstock that actually produces more energy than it requires to create.

-shorts

That's an impossibility. The ancient impossible dream of a perpetuum mobile. Any high school student also knows why. It would be in violation of the law of Conservation of Energy, which states that energy can never be created or destroyed, and is therefore impossible.

"If your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation. ”

--Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, The Nature of the Physical World (1927)




"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer". F Zappa
