$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DJ_Mittens', 'S')till, the human labor required is phenomenal when compared to corn/canola/grain-type crops which can easily be harvested by machine. That adds a huge degree of cost, likely making any significant amount of coconut gas economically impractical.

Unless we want to re-introduce slavery.


Since when does a monkey cost a lot of money? It doesn't. I'm all in favor of monkey labor. After all, monkey's have the right to have a job too.

Check out this crazy blog: http://monkeybizz.blogspot.com/
"Exploring the labor market for monkeys". :-D


Some headlines there:

Indian officials advice 5 hour working day for monkeys
Scientists turn monkeys into workaholics
Monkeys on hunger strike, want onions
Study: Monkeys exchange money for fruit, sex [>>> cool, so we can pay them and they'll spend their money wisely :-D ]

The folly of biomass will become apparent as the environmental damage of it piles up and the true costs are realized.


No, not biomass but tar sands.

"Recovering and processing Fort McMurray’s heavy crude releases up to three times as much greenhouse gas as producing conventional crude.

Even more alarming is this: “In northern Alberta, the oil-sands boom is remaking the landscape. The mining operations have clear-cut thousands of acres of trees and dug 200-foot-deep pits. The region is dotted with large man-made lakes filled with leftover waste from the mining operations. To chase off migratory birds, propane cannons go off at random intervals and scarecrows stand guard on floating barrels.”
