Without goinging into politics - Fidel Castro just made the news with his prediction that 3 billion people will die due to biofuel projects. Here is a link to the brief article on MSN http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17850102/ .
Already the price of corn tortillas (a nutritious staple for the poor) has risen in Mexico even though the corn diverted to biofuel is not the same corn used in tortillas. http://laborstrategies.blogs.com/global_labor_strategies/2007/02/whats_it_got_to.html

Here is a link to an orginization that I know of that touts hydrogen as a source of renewable, non-polluting energy http://www.cleanpeace.org/ .

What do you have to say about the increasing use of biofuels?
