From the Environmental Audit Committee
Biofuels are not green, they lead to pollution and environmental damage across the board. It is possible that this may improve, but right now they are a bad idea.
That’s not counting the human costs of increased food prices, something which is already causing lots of concern and shortages in Mexico (thanks to politicians trying to get the votes of American farmers).
Of course, the National Farmers Union is all for biofuels. Then again they would be, its good for their members, who wouldn’t engage in a bit of rent seeking? And the subsidies on offer, how wonderful.
Never mind the poor or environmental damage (and the green movement never seems to be that concerned about the poor either).
