The biofuel hoax is causing a world food crisis!

The biofuels fad is causing havoc and misery around the world. The
United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) states that
global food prices rose 40% in 2007 alone, in large part because of
biofuel production. Farming contributes more to global warming each
year than all forms of motorized transportation combined, because
nitrogen fertilizers react with the soil to produce nitrous oxide, a
greenhouse gas 296 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. Biofuel
crop farming and production is actually speeding global warming
instead of slowing it. Farmers are burning down rainforests all over
the world to produce more crops because Americans and Europeans give
them the economic incentive by pumping up grain prices due to biofuel
production. Biofuels cost more (fuel cost + food cost + water lost to
irrigation + environmental damage) and destroy the environment faster
than using oil.

from nuclear energy and stop global warming.

The biofuel food price spiral has just begun, and this will turn into
a big political scandal like the Iraq War.
