Biofuels Debate (Video)

Let the biofuels debate begin! The video below shows biofuel advocates Josh Boger of the Biotechnology Industrial Organization and Joe Trippi, political consultant, discussing concerns over the link between biofuels and the reduction of food stock and increased food prices. If we're willing to "keep the conversation going," and invest in new technologies to improve the functionality of biofuels with regard to food shortages/prices, then we'll all be better for it. See David Roberts' response (of Grist Magazine) after the JUMP---> httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peR7jcktBv4&eurl Roberts argues that we shouldn't be framing the question of using biofuels in terms of "working together." Rather, we should be asking ourselves if it's worth it to invest billions of dollars in technology subsidies to improve the use of biofuels when even advocates acknowledge the corresponding harmful environmental impacts. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADI2Pio5Cl0&eur You can takepart by learning more about the environmental impacts of biofuels.
