Hartmut Michel, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 1988, Interview 2008

Biofuels such as ethanol, biodiesel and biogas are no solution for the energy problems of the world at all, says Hartmut Michel. Their energy efficiency is far too low, therefore they are absolutely not worth the effort. Instead he favours other renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind power. Michel received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1988 together with Johann Deisenhofer and Robert Huber for the determination of the three-dimensional structure of a photosynthetic reaction centre.

Good video. I like wind and solar, but i am a huge fan of Ethanol. one reason i like ethanol so much is the fact that when i was looking at the Chevy Volt i noticed that the battery range is only 40 miles. 2 gallons of ethanol could beat the best batteries Chevy could offer. I still like plug in cars but i have to commute 35 miles one way so it wouldn't work for me. I hope to shorten my commute someday. I think energy is a good subject to follow, allot of thing are changing. got to go. see ya.
