Biofuels are the future

Hugh Robertson

Letters, Dundee Courier

Monday 06 Sep 2004

Sir, Donald Macleod's
letter (August 27) contending
that petrol prices should be
coming down due to extra tax
revenue from North Sea oil
would only be correct if we
exported more than we im-
ported - we don't. The fact is
the world is fast running out
of petrochemicals to exploit
and prices will continue to
climb until we return to using
agriculture as our source.

Biofuels are the future for
fuel, and are where farmers
should be looking as many
face yet another year of
appalling prices for grain.
Forget windfarms polluting
the landscape, just grow our
fuel - hemp, willow, poplar
and oilseed rape are amongst
the best, but almost any plant
material can be used along
with animal slurry and some
industrial waste.
Hugh Robertson.
Barrack Street,
Perth.
