Biofuels seem like an insanity to me. If we had already exhaused all other possible sources of energy generation then perhaps looking at food-capable producing land as a source of fuel might be the way forward. But in reality we have vast areas of otherwise useless surface that could be converted into solar collectors such as rooves and deserts.
The decline in the availability of fossil fuels will also have a major impact on food prices in the short and medium term. All our major production is geared around fossil fuel energy and this needs to be addressed immediately by changing our power sources to renewable energy. The price of fossil fuels will then be removed from the equation of food pricing.
Biofuel definitely has its place such as for individual farms supplementing their fuel supply. ON the whole though it cannot compare with the promise of clean energy from sources such as solar and wind power.
