You actually constructed the strawman yourself. I never said “overnight” and that is a very, very crucial difference. My whole post was about the difficulties in the decades-long process of reducing fossil fuel usage.
You see, most people when they look at the problem are just like, “oh, we just need a different source of energy”. But there are physical practical difficulties with that idea, and I’m trying to draw attention to those by saying: "OK, X is how things are now (largely gasoline and diesel powered fleet). Y is how you want things to be (everything runs on bottled sunshine). Now show me a plausible path from X to Y. (Hopefully you can see that demanding a plausible explanation for how it could happen ever is different from demanding a plausible explanation for how it could happen overnight.)
If you can bother to reformulate your arguments with that correction in mind I’ll give them a look.
(I’m more skeptical of biofuels than you are, so you might want to point to some good sources you think might convince me to be less skeptical of them.)
