| Kyros said: A reason biofuels are being used is to limit oil usage. but not because of high oil prices. Biofuel prices are still not lower than oil. They are used because of global warming. In the EU because they want to drop CO2 emissions by 20%. In the USA because maize farmers have a big lobby. |
And the eco concerns are kinda silly... as the oil used to grow and process the corn used to make the biofuel is quite substantial. Or was the last time i looked in on it.
Biofuels are a waste. That food could be going on the market to feed poor countries.
