According to this article, far more damage is being done by destroying these forests in order to make room for farmland, than from any contribution these biofuels were originally thought to have made towards making our fuels more "green." It blows my mind that it's environmentalists who are essentially responsible for this damage and echoes comments you've made before about how we need to know more before we take action. This is a giant blunder and for me proves the necessity of thinking first before taking action. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1725975,00.html Jan – have you read this article in Time about how in the rush to turn plants into biofuels, not only are food prices going through the roof, but entire rain forests are being bulldozed, in the Amazon and in Malaysia?
