Maybe "Drill baby drill?" is the answer

This Time magazine article gives a scary portrayal of the agro-fuel movement. Perhaps the most harrowing quote: "One groundbreaking new study... concluded that when this deforestation effect is taken into account, corn ethanol and soy biodiesel produce about TWICE the emissions of gasoline." The law of unintended consequences: increased food prices lead to increase deforestation (oh, and also severely impacting the world hunger crisis).
