Bio fuels bad for enviroment

    At first everybody simply thought that because we wouldn't be using gasoline, biofuels would be helping the enviroment. Well, Tim Searchinger is challenging that idea.

     He and his colleages have done extensive research into the thesisability of ethanol as a fuel source. The research has shown that converting to using ethenol could produce two to three times as much carbon dioxide over the next thirty years. Think about it, where is all the food to replace the corn used by the ethanol process going to come from? It will come from third world countries, where the extra fields will be burned out of the jungle or plowed out of the grasslands. Both of which produce large amounts of carbon dioxide.

    There are other ways to produce ethenol though. It depends on what you start with, corn and soybeans or waste food and agrcultural waste. The ethenol idea is still evolving and being refined, with humanity's need to progress at our backs we will find a good way to produce fuel without oil.
