Conveniently they omitted Algae. The key to propaganda is to give only part of the story and to use language to drive perception in a certain direction. Nice.

and, at the same time the government is paying farmers NOT to grow crops that would lower the market price. ( I know this because my uncle was a farmer in the mid west)  we cant have the price of GMO corn go down.

Biofuel is still superior to crude petro. The problem is that big world agendas; there is little to no land that has to be set apart when it is being produced in it's more efficient way- that is, recycling waste like tires, plastics, old vegetable oils, etc- outside of that it is a lost cause. in the early 2000s biofuels was sweeping the nation, but as soon as big companies got their fingers into it and started burning rain forests in southeast Asia to make space for rubber trees, then it became a world problem. The issue lies with the method, not the product. One article usually isn't enough to condemn an entire process.
