Biofuels to Blame for Food Crisis?

The drawbacks of using biofuels.

Biofuels have forced global food prices up by 75 percent — far more than previously estimated — according to a confidential World Bank report published in a British newspaper on Friday.

I think it is time to really review biofuels and see if they are really necessary. The output isn't that great, it jacks up food prices around the world, and overall it doesn't have the desired effect on the environment that we want.
