It’s time to stop using sugar cane and corn for biofuels and switch to something more practical like switchgrass and oil-laden algae, both of which will far less affect food production. And with improving technology for cellulosic ethanol extraction, we don’t need to grow so much agricultural products just for ethanol production, since the entire plant can be turned into ethanol.

The world probably will after the technology exists to economically produce it from them. It does not exist today but holds promise of future development.

I’m of the opinion that CNG is a better alternative to bio-fuels. Much of the infrastructure is already in place for the distribution of NG and relatively minor tax changes can rapidly expand that infrastructure.

Why?

We STILL have surplus production. It it took 20 years to double corn production, now it may very well double again in the next 10, what are we going to do with the mountains of corn and other crops?

Meanwhile, there are shortages of beef, chicken and milk in Venezuela and other countries as governments try to keep a lid on food price inflation.

Let's make clear that the problems in Venezuela are not due to the production of biofuels but to the communist policies being implemented by Chavez.
