BIOFUELS ARE AN ENVIRONMENTAL DEAD END

David Pimentel summarizes it here...Gristmill expands on it here... from Philpott's article:
Deforestation, falling water tables -- these are hardly the hallmarks of a fuel source that can reasonably be called "renewable," much less an agriculture strategy designed to maintain food-production capacity. And rising prices for food commodities, without other social reforms, will only translate to more misery for the global south.
