Bush has been pumping this for a while... I see many on the left oppose it.
I however know very little about the effects or the backlash or the pros and cons.
So I would like to read up on it and get some examples from you guys...

thanks

Biofuels are sources of energy created from biomass and include crops such as corn or vegetable oil, or even various alcohol fuels and gases such as methane for example.

so basically this is good for the environment as opposed to regular fuel?

mean while isn't this corn being taken from low developing countries who NEED it to EAT?
so is basically used to satisfied American's obsession to driving and SUVs?

This is to satisfy the desires of those who want alternative fuels. Obviously, due to its problems, biofuels cannot be the sole answer to our energy problems which is why increased attention on energy research and development is needed.
