Putting solar panels on land used for biofuels would produce enough electricity for all cars and trucks to go electric

The world dedicates a Poland-sized area of land to liquid biofuels. Is there a more efficient way to generate energy?

Besides we can still use that same land for crops with agrivoltaics

    I think the important metric here is fuel burned: how much fuel do we burn just to ship fuel to where it can be refined, and then to where it’s needed?

      Indeed, this would be a key metric, and probably someone has already done this work. If my hedging guy (who also covers our EUA/ETS biz) in London has this data, I’ll post it.
