The combustion engine is the culprit, regardless of the fuel. The electric car, coupled with solar/hydro/wind power is the future.

I am against biofuel due the huge amount logging needed to make space to grow the crop in the first place. A short term fix with long term detrimental effects which will touch everyone.

Using food for fuel is penny un-wise and pound foolish. Especially corn! It is the basis of so many products.People are starving as we curtail food distribution to drive to Wal-Mart to buy cat food! Ehtanol is no panacea as a fuel, it can't be transported in pipes, and requires more energy to produce than oil by leaps and bounds.

While we’re fighting biofuels, we remember that we need to to promote solutions that aren’t business as usual. That means consuming less fossil fuel, (buy local, grow your own food) reducing our energy usage, get wind and solar energy wholly viable and on grid, and promote proven transportation alternatives – like plug-ins, public transportation and pedal power.

Biofuels raise food prices and add to the starvation problem. There are much better alternatives - solar, wind, geothermal, hydrogen, you name it.

Most people seem to be ignorant of the fact that bio fuels also release Carbon dioxide. Solar, wind and nuclear energy hold key to the future as they do not release Carbon dioxide!

Biofuels could be wise...but not by the current way it's being generated. Government subsidies are pushing bio fuels too fast and are inflating the price of food. We were too quick to create fuel from renewable crops, it's created a problem that is very hard to change. There are different crops that can be harvested and energy extracted using enzymatic techniques, but we must wait until this is perfected before bio fuels are explored any further.

Hemp makes the most efficient biofuel and consumes no food resources.
Bio - Doesn't means food...
I guess Human don't eat all kind of things available in nature...
We have a knowledge to do "Research". So Let's do it. and find something that doesn't alter the food web- nature.
Jatropha trees grow on marginal land in countries such as India, Mozambique, Malawi and Tanzania. Each seed produces up to 40 per cent of its mass in oil, and jatropha can be grown in otherwise non-arable areas, leaving prime land available for food crops, according to the airline
There are bio fuels that are more than from corn. Some, such as Diesel derived from algae can be produced in high density, thus less land use.
Those against it have flawed math or narrow views. Read more into it.
I voted for biofuels but my true feelings dictate that I clarify. I personally believe biofuels as they are currently mandated is complete and utter nonsense, both economically and environmentally. However, the pickle we find ourselves in is one that requires solutions we have yet to find. The very solution COULD be biofuels.
