I agree with Chris it should be about diversification. We could get ourselves in another quandary if we focus too much on this novel way of obtaining energy.

The world population is growing at an alarming rate and we will need all of the available land to feed the people of the world. We can’t afford to look too deeply into the possibility of using fuel obtained from foods to fully deal with the growing global energy crisis.

When possible, multiple fuel types should be available. In addition, we should not rely on one location to provide a majority of the fuel. Life is good when things work, but one catastrophe can send the economy down the drain.

Finally, I don’t like to see farmland taken away for creating energy. With the population growing, not only do we need more food, we also need more land to live on. If we rely on other countries to supply our food, we will end up with a food crises some day.
