Re: Are Biofuels the Answer?

There is sense in being sensitive to the impact of producing Bio Fuel from good quality food crops. But the production of Ethanol from grains is mostly done from sub-standard grain unfit for human food. Besides, in producing  fuel from oil of non -food kernels, by allowing such plants to grow naturally, utilising surplus rainwater and residuary moisture in fallow lands, we will be making optimum utilisation of available resources and not diverting from a captive pool. Hence the danger of food prices being pushed up or supplies diminishing is slightly exaggerated
