If you're pointing out that biofuels currently use fossil fuels in the planting, tending, and harvesting processes then I agree.

What I said was:

... from this perspective, biofuels can be said to be carbon neutral, because it's theoretically possible to manufacture and use them without adding to the…

This episode gives a brief background to the subject, and looks at a New Zealand biofuel that could provide significant amounts of low-cost energy...
