It doesn’t look like we have the answer yet, but it is looking more and more like biofuels are a bad idea. Firstly, to use precious agriculture land to run our cars instead of our bodies is very creepy. If there is a drought, which do we sacrifice first? Do we tear up the land and destroy precious topsoil just to be able to drive around? Should we be tying our food to our cars in such a fundamental way?
And now there is a study about the increased risk of crop pests if we were to plant all those crops. Apparently it will increase the amount of pests to the point where our food crops will be affected. By increasing the populations of these pests, we are not only posing harm to our food supply, but to entire ecosystems.
