So, at least that is what I read so often, as one of the many excuses to do nothing about future energy concerns.  And to some degree it is a true statement that, "using corn for ethanol will raise the cost of food for the poor."  Yep, that's right, corn is a horrible biofuel base crop.  Besides the fact that it's efficieny is pathetic, less than a 50% net return on energy invested and it raises the competition for a human food source.  Only the corn lobby in the states is trying to promote the use of corn as a biofuel base, no other industry is saying that it's the perfect crop.  But is that a reason to turn away from biofuels?

No!
