Biofuels (like corn -don't ask me how..) are clean fuels, but it turns out that 'creating' biofuels (like corn crops) is very expensive and takes lots of time and energy. Therefore the outcome of the gain (namely clean energy) is often negative because it doesn't balance out all the unclean effort in creating the -for instance- corn crops.

But where biofuels aren't an option as a clean way of pruducing energy, there are many others. What about windenergy, waterenergy or, ofcoarse, solar-energy? Now is the time to invest in a durable and sustainable way of extracting energy from natural resources ON A LARGE SCALE that are ours to use. GEBE should be taking a lead in doing just that; sustainable, clean energy for the whole island.
