A number of years ago when bio diesel was all the rage, someone sat down and calculated just how much fuel was required to create bio diesel, assuming all fuels involved to create it were themselves bio diesel.

This study took into consideration everything from production of the farm equipment to what it took to run all the equipment, transport all the supplies both ways, etc.

This study concluded that it required seven gallons of bio diesel during production to create eight gallons of bio diesel. The net savings was something near 12% or 13%.

And the difference in the amount of pollutants that were emitted into the atmosphere to create a net of eight gallons of bio diesel was actually more than what would have been emitted by just burning eight gallons of petroleum diesel.

As well, I did not see mention that it is safe bet that the electricity to charge up is almost certainly from a coal fueled generating station.
Another quibble, how is pollution defined? 'Carbon pollution' is a religious not a scientific statement.

Yea, and the so called, "Fossil" fuels...which "may" be a renewable resource and not from fossils at all.

The Electric Universe Theory broaches the thought that oil/gas is naturally created. They have found that old oil wells have filled back up with no explanation.
Now I could think up a few reasons why but the "Electrically" created idea is an interesting one.

After all, we don't find oil in old garbage dumps now do we...

Same with windmills and solar farms, not only do they monopolize huge sections of land but have had an environmental impact also, not to mention the manufacturing/ delivery/ setup and replacement components.

It does not matter.

What matters is that coal derived energy must be killed in the name of global warming. Never mind it is a hoax.
