Carbon neutrality

I want to say one thing about the green-gas neutrality claim. It's a false statement. It's not how much is produced and how much is burnt that makes it neutral. It's the rate of consumption / production. If we compare burning a gallon of fuel in an hour to producing that much of fuel from it's ingredients ( planting, harvesting, transporting, processing, distilling ).. I bet it wouldn't be that neutral anymore.

If we are talking about it being neutral in the context of a universe, then yes.. it's green-gas neutral ( after these fuel burning processes / humanity cease to exist and nature fixes itself ). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.51.88.60 (talk) 15:21, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

An energy crop can become carbon-neutral if it is feedstock for a biofuel which supplies enough energy for cultivating, harvesting, transporting, and processing/refining the crop. Closing the carbon loop in this way will be necessary due to inevitable declines in fossil fuel extraction (see: Peak oil). Any energy crop which can demonstrate an EROEI substantially greater than one can ultimately result in a closed carbon loop, and still provide enough energy gain to make the exercise worthwhile. --Teratornis (talk) 05:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Link Spam

Just for future reference I am going to keep reverting all of these edits that are putting a link to Bical miscanthus in the wiki. I see no reason why we would link to it. SarcasticDwarf 14:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
