Dude, you know nothing about our energy system, our energy needs nor the way the various energy carriers can work to meet our needs. You lack vast swaths of knowledge and as a result your conclusions are completely wrong.

Biofuels are a means of energy storage, they are not a "source" of energy. However they offer certain characteristics that are essential for many applications. The picture gets distorted when we don't take into consideration the fact that the range of applications we now use liquid fuels for is a product of the easy availability of petroleum. In fact most of the things we do with liquid fuels can be done with other energy carriers like direct electricity or batteries. Also, the internal combustion engine is one of the least efficient ways to use the energy in liquid fuels and we can easily more than triple the amount of work that we get out of one gallon of liquid fuels.

When we apply those two considerations to the problem of moving away from fossil fuels, we see that we only need liquid fuels to meet a small fraction of the applications we are now using them for, AND for those applications we only need minor fraction of what is now being used.

Your understanding of renewable energy sources and nuclear power is likewise fatally flawed.
