Worst Ideas of the 21st Century #10

I can see why someone might think that biofuels have a benefit over fossil fuels in that they are a renewable energy source but enough is enough. I'm pretty sure last time I checked humans need food before the ability to drive a giant car around. AutoblogGreen reports on a group called Food Before Fuel who are protesting the US government's policies on biofuels.

ABG reports that "...these policies are responsible to up to 30 percent of the world's food price inflation." and "...corn is more expensive for food producers and food ends up being more expensive for consumers." So not only are we taking food out of our own mouths but the food we DO get costs more! BRILLIANT!
