Bigdog recently said this:
-----
Do you know of any internal combustion engines that don't
burn fossil fuels? Didn't think so. Christ, you are as dumb
as she is.
-----
Even though he engaged in his normal insults to try to hide his
insecurities, I figured I would try to help him out. Here, just a bit on
bio-fuels:
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/global-warming/biofuel/
-----
The Swedish city of Kristianstad uses biogas to generate electricity and
heat and to fuel cars and municipal garbage trucks and buses. Its two
refineries produce enough biofuel to replace 1.1 million gallons of
gasoline each year.
...
BIOFUELS HAVE BEEN around as long as cars have. At the start of the 20th
century, Henry Ford planned to fuel his Model Ts with ethanol, and early
diesel engines were shown to run on peanut oil.
But discoveries of huge petroleum deposits kept gasoline and diesel
cheap for decades, and biofuels were largely forgotten. However, with
the recent rise in oil prices, along with growing concern about global
warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions, biofuels have been regaining
popularity.
Gasoline and diesel are actually ancient biofuels. But they are known as
fossil fuels because they are made from decomposed plants and animals
that have been buried in the ground for millions of years. Biofuels are
similar, except that they're made from plants grown today.
-----
Heck, much of our CURRENT gas has a bio-fuel component:
-----
Much of the gasoline in the United States is blended with a
biofuel—ethanol. This is the same stuff as in alcoholic drinks, except
that it's made from corn that has been heavily processed. There are
various ways of making biofuels, but they generally use chemical
reactions, fermentation, and heat to break down the starches, sugars,
and other molecules in plants. The leftover products are then refined to
produce a fuel that cars can use.
-----
And even airplanes can use this (though there are still technological
issues:
-----
Using biofuels as jetfuel also offers a solution to carbon emissions
from air travel. In 2016, United Airlines announced a new iniative to
integrate biofuel into its energy supply with the hopes of reducing
greenhouse gas emissions by 60 percent. Because commercial air travel
comprises a significant amount of all carbon dioxide emissions, airlines
and environmental advocates readily seek alternative fuel sources.
-----
The article does go on to talk about some of the challenges and
weaknesses of bio-fuels. They are not a magic solution (nothing is), but
for Bigdog to have no clue they even existed is quite amazing.
I suppose given his insistance that scientific predictions are not
scientific -- yet he accepts that we can scientifically predict when the
sun is going to come up by using precise measurements and calculations
-- he is not very consistent with his nonsense.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.
They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
