I support the re-evaluation of biofuels policies in all regions which aim to have a full-blast operation of biofuels industry. It is indeed a tough decision to choose between the use of biofuels to promote clean air vs environmental degradation. I believe that sustainable development, though a usual term used by every person nowadys, still at a distant reality whenever planners, legislators, leaders and business sectors thought of gaining more from a venture which can cause massive environmental destruction. Biofuels is indeed a promising solution to clean the air, but I strongly believe that we need to be careful in regulating the actions and plans in support of this endeavor. Let's learn from the past experiences and never commit the same mistakes again. it's a cliche, but ironically, we never learned at all....
