BBC on Biofuels

I'll use that the next time someone tells me that we can grow all the fuel we need to run our cars.Little wonder that many are calling biofuels "deforestation diesel", the opposite of the environmentally friendly fuel that all are seeking.
There was a debate on Farming today this morning between Peter Kendall and George Monbiot on the same subject. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/news/farmin ... ndex.shtml
The sad thing is that biofuel production will probably take off in poor countries that should use their agricultural land to grow food for their own people.
