Here’s another one over at Ace’s place worth the look.

That fairy dust green energy Obama (SCOAMF) is pushing for is a really, really stupid idea.

Nobel Prize biophysicist: “The Nonsense of Biofuels” [Fritzworth]

Ash Jogalekar (himself a scientist) reports at his website on a scientific editorial, “The Nonsense of Biofuels”, written by Hartmut Michel, who won the Nobel Prize for his own research into biophysics. The gist of Michel’s editorial (which is not accessible, Jogalekar’s link notwithstanding) is that there just isn’t enough efficiency in biophysical processes. Open it up for an extended quote from Jogalekar’s post.

All these hurdles lead to a rather drastic lowering of photosynthetic efficiency which gets watered down to a rather measly (but still staggeringly efficient by human standards) 4% or so.
