Why not consider algae oil as an alternative fuel? Its body weight is about 50% clean oil and you can use unproductive land like saline soils and deserts to produce the algae oil needed. It produces far more oil per acre than corn or other crop alternatives. There are some technical issues to overcome but the US and other developed nations have the technological means to make this a possibility.

If you’re growing bio fuel, surgar cane or other, it means you aren’t growing food on the same land.

The only other argument I can make against biofuels is the sheer acreage needed to make it viable. With any crop, more farmland is going to be needed. This may result in more deforestation.

It is true. Food will ALWAYS be more important than fuel. However, there are resources we can use to make biofuels that do not compete with our food source, directly or indirectly. Sugar cane is a good example. We haven’t used it for sugar in years (hence the fall of the plantations in the Carribean). Can anyone think of why sugar cane would not be viable?

The climate will win the argument, no matter what Al Gore says or does. The only issue is are people stupid enough to pay more in taxes so that government can say they control the weather. It’s a diabolical scam that talks in time frames longer than memory.
