Biofuels problematic

Ireland has given up its plans to increase its use of bio-fuels nine-fold. The Irish Times welcomes the decision: "For some time now, it has been obvious that biofuels will not provide the anticipated panacea to cope with rising carbon emissions and global warming. The amount of land that would have to be cultivated to provide the necessary raw materials to meet EU targets represents a major impediment. But, more importantly, the knock-on effect on world food prices makes the exercise morally and economically suspect. The production of alternative fuels should not be allowed to contribute to growing hunger in developing countries. ... This is not to say that experimentation in the growth and development of biofuels should cease or that materials should not be recycled so as to minimise our dependence on oil. But there should be a clear recognition that the production of ethanol as an alternative transport fuel is not the answer to rising oil prices."
