The Ugly Truth
I know fuel prices are the main indirect driving force (if they weren't so sky high there wouldn't be many people investing in biofuels as they are not cheap to produce) and don't misunderstand me I'm a Greeny but starving people so we can drive our cars and still think we are doing wonders to the world is being a hypocrite. Yes let's save the environment but not at the cost of human lives.
The devilish side of biofuels is that even if they are from non feeding products (that is their are not consumed by human beings) they still land from the products that actually feed and with raising cost of petrol and therefore transportation, as well as a mad frenzy for energy has driven prices of energy in all it's forms. This made biofuels' production actually worthwhile and I can assure you that the vast majority of its investors aren’t investing only on the kindness of their heart; they are doing it for the profit with the bonus of a status quo that they actually care about the planet not their pockets. Another small detail biofuel defenders forget is how much land is necessary to produce the energy needed to produce biofuel for us to drive our cars, let’s just say there isn’t enough land for that.
In my opinion, we should be investing in other renewable energies and invest in a solution using those for our cars, be it solar or eolic, hydrogen, etc. That’s were the future lays, not in short term solutions as biofuels that may reduce a little bit of our dependence of petrol, but at the cost of human lives? That is unacceptable.
