And the profits grow
#34
Quote:So I wonder. Admittedly I need to read more on the Brazil case, It was first introduced to me in one of my economy classes in 95 and I did some looking at it then, but kind of let it slip from my mind till a year or so ago when I saw I think it was Modern Marvels episode on Nat Geo talking about bio fuels. And of course the current situation makes it more relevant as well.


Would things look different had america taken more of an approach like brazil? maybe a little, but not drastically. We are essentially on the tail end of an "exponential" S-curve in our present gasoline based fuel paradigm, bio fuels are just an extension of this paradigm. The Law of Accelerating Returns dictates that as one paradigm fizzles out a new one will rise to take it's place. Solar is the likeliest next paradigm, as exponential models predict the technology advancing to the point that it can sustain all of our energy needs around 20 years from now. Lets hope we can last that long.
