		<description>About EFFING time. I&#039;ve been really irritated by the BioPower advertising and Saab&#039;s claims of eco-friendliness. Absolute nonsense, but &quot;politically&quot; expedient.

Of course, they have to grasp at whatever straws they can reach for, but while E85 in Europe very rarely comes from Brazil, disproving the claim wasn&#039;t very difficult ... interesting that they got away with a best case scenario.

There is no such thing as a sensible use of BioPower for powering vehicles, without a radical redesign of the same vehicles. The only way to compensate for the terrible consumed-to-gained energy equation of biofuels is to radically reduce the energy required to power the vehicle -- and they&#039;re not doing that. It&#039;s the same car, different fuel - and that doesn&#039;t compute.</description>
