What ever happened to the bio-fuels that were supposed to be the Next Big Thing? You never hear about them anymore

Despite being incredibly efficient and potentially more environmentally friendly than other fuels, biofuels have failed to gain traction because of their high cost. In addition to being costly initially, it’s also expensive to maintain the necessary infrastructure needed to produce biofuels on a large scale.

The current methods of harvesting and processing biofuel crops can cause significant environmental damage, leading many governments to hesitate before investing heavily in this technology. So even when they are more environmentally-friendly, they are not that good of an idea

Despite early promises that biofuels would play a major role in reducing carbon emissions, their production and usage has been limited due to technological challenges and cost-related issues. Additionally, biofuel production can cause land degradation, water pollution, and other environmental concerns if not properly managed. As such, many countries have adopted policies to limit or discourage its use as an alternative fuel source.

While it may not be the next big thing anymore, bio-fuels still have an important role to play when it comes to renewable energy production and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. At least as a precedent for future fuel alternatives

Imagine you received an offer for a PM role (non-FAANG) what are some questions you'd ask the hiring manager about the job or company?
Reason for asking this is because I see a lot of PM jobs might not be exactly align with what PMs should do. Any thoughts on this ?
