[Chemical Bill]

pushing for laws against building on cropland. Here in the states, I suspect that more food production has been lost to housing than to biofuels.

Also, meat production uses about 17 times the land that veggie production would to grow the same amount of protein. Do you post much advocating a vegetarian diet? As you no doubt know, biodiesel in the states is almost wholly sourced from oil that the meat industry would otherwise discard, making biodiesel here free from "stealing food from the poor" blame. It's the steak that steals the food from the poor. Close down the steakhouses, and then we'll talk.
