Bio-fuel = starvation for a large chunk of the third world, as subsistence food production is replaced by large establishments buying the land to produce grain/palm oil/whatever to turn into fuel for the developed nations.
NO we should NOT be doing this - and it is only being done because there are huge govt subsidies which make it viable, in order to reduce our carbon footprint. The fact that the embedded carbon means that burning this sort of fuel is far from carbon-neutral doesn't worry our govt, as that carbon is being expended by another country and does not show up on our books!
The whole thing stinks and is a travesty of justice.
