They rely on huge govt subsidies, pollute the environment to a high level, including greatly increased agricultural runoff into oceans, and overall produces fuel with much higher per gallon costs than current oil-based gasoline. The increased fresh water requirements will also become a serious problem in the near future. We would all be much better off sticking to true renewable energies, and moving away from expensive, polluting food sources for fuel... Biofuels, as they exist now, are a scam.

If we took a mere 10 percent of the funds that go into oil scouting extraction production and transportation I am sure would could come up with a solution. Reduce the need by reducing fuel using cars, come up with multiple sources of fuel and cars that can use all of those types of fuel, increase the efficiency of those cars, and get more people t use public transportation. If over reliance on oil is a sickness then lets use a broad spectrum of antibiotics on this sickness to make sure we get rid of it good and permanently.

Brazil has about 60% of our population and they create enough alcohol to run the country from a little more than 1% of their land. Plus why would you use a crop that's food?

The problem is not the KIND of fuel so much as CONTROL of the fuel. with any "pump" bought fuel you are at the mercy of whoever CONTROLS said fuel and since fuel is MANDATORY not optional its a nasty arrangement. Battery Electric Cars are the ONLY viable solution but they are effectively for now rendered illegal since GM sold the NIMH patent to Chevron and they refuse to license it. It Expires 2015. At most they can "hold off" production another 2-5 years by BUYING all the factories that are tooled up to make them (which would make sense for them to do) so it would take another 2-5 years before someone else could tool up and sell them affordably. It won't be long from then before we have under $13,000 electric cars that can go over 100 miles on a charge. Solar panels will offset the electricity cost. a $2600 solar array (including the grid tie in) is all 99% of us need to produce enough solar power to sell back to the grid to MORE than 100% offset the power used to charge the car IE free to drive.

The conversion of the suns' energy is much more efficient than any plant. There have been great advances in high density production as well. Biodiesel from Algae makes the most sense to me.
