Biofuels emit 400% more CO2

EU research reveals that
Biofuels such as:
-ethanol (corn)
or
-biodiesel (soy)
emit 4 times more C02 than conventional fossil fuels.

In order to grow enough of these crops for fuel
large swaths of land are being converted into crop fields of biofuel.
In other words large acres of lush rainforests are becoming corn and soy fields to provide these resources.
This growing trend will further harm the prospect of world hunger which has increased substantially
and further spike the inflation of food prices globally.

Many also complain new biofuels impair gas mileage and choke engines.
