Biofuels
Did you know that if we were able and willing to start using all the arable land in the US for the production of biodiesel tomorrow, we still couldn't supply the needs of this country for even a few months.
Conservation is something we can all do, right now, in all aspects of our lives. Belief in the myth of some cheep renewable energy resource just over the horizon is not an answer to the problem of global climate change or our dependence on oil from countries we would prefer not to do business with. We can't consume our way out of a crisis.

You are correct to suggest that biofuels are a drop in the bucket needed to supply this country's energy requirements. I am glad that some farmers are reaping the benefits of higher grain prices than they have seen in years. Unfortunately, not many farms in this country are family-owned anymore. Large corporations control many, many acres used for production and solicit politicians' help in continuing unfairly distributed subsidies.
