Green Fuel: Animal that fails to get tamed!!!

Crop production cycles of bio fuels cumulatively fail to meet emission standards, a classic case of environmental externalities being considered. Do we have a no go on bio fuels then?! The only remedy then is solar, until we discover silicon pollution; or wind, until we discover high cost of maintenance; geo-thermal, until we discover fissure safety depletion ... is there actually a remedy to the energy crisis of our times or are we doomed inevitably??!!!

Nothing is impossible ... then some things are!!!

Sure as I know anything, I know this: In a year or maybe ten, perhaps even on this very ground, they'll swing back to the belief that they can make people better; and I don't hold to that.
- Captain Malcolm Reynolds, Serenity, 2005

Making things better after they have become worse is an innate desire of man, a remnant of discharging the white man's burden or Freudian guilt mechanism? Whatever that may be, but for sure this never has worked, neither in science fiction nor in real life. Lets just try not to spoil and if we do spoil, kindly leave the unspoiling to nature.
