With the advent of Biodeisel produced from Algae it is unnecessary and stupid to use food crops as a source for biofuel production. The amounts of algal biodeisel that can be produced on a similar acreage to corn is trully remarkable. With the possibility of an almost zero waste output.
At present their is some talk that this process is currently more expensive, but isn't attempting to shut down of the ecosystem in which we live going a bit far, too?
We need to spend the money needed to make this process work here in Australia and since some algae forms grow in salt water wouldn't that make it even more viable.
