It was one of the dumbest "green" ideas ever proposed: Convert millions of acres of cropland into fields for growing ethanol from corn, then burn fossil fuels to harvest the ethanol, expending more energy to extract the fuel than you get from the fuel itself! Meanwhile, sit back and proclaim you've achieved a monumental green victory (President Bush, anyone?) all while unleashing a dangerous spike in global food prices that's causing a ripple effect of food shortages and rationing around the world.
I think politicians need to spend less time bragging about their latest greenwashing schemes and more time studying The Law of Unintended Consequences. Because while growing fuel on cropland initially sounds like a great idea, any honest assessment of the total impact leads you to the inescapable conclusion that biofuels are largely a government-sponsored scam. With a few exceptions (see below), biofuels produce no net increase in energy output, and they cause food shortages while creating strong economic incentives for the destruction of the very rainforests we desperately need to stabilize the climate!

To recycle used vegetable oil is one thing but to grow a fuel is absurd.
There are truly only three completely renewable fuel resources in the galaxy: Solar (for electricity), Wind (for electricity) and Water (for electricity and hydrogen).
Electric or hydrogen is the only answers for Vehicles.
If you know someone using new vegetable oil for there car please tell him or her that they are starving people around the world.
Convert to electric or hydrogen to save this planet and its inhabitants.
