Internal World Bank study delivers blow to plant energy
drive
According to a previously secret report conducted
by the World Bank and obtained by the Guardian newspaper, biofuel production is
hugely responsible for the food price crisis. How much? The report - the "most
detailed analysis of the crisis so far," in the Guardian's words - says that biofuels caused
global food prices to rise by 75 percent. This is much higher than previous
estimates. Food Before Fuel and the Guardian says the
U.S. government claims that biofuels were responsible for just a three percent
rise.
The Food Before Fuel Campaign was created to urge
public officials to revisit and restructure policies that have increased our
reliance on food as an energy source, and to carefully address how to develop
alternative fuels that do not pit our energy needs against affordable food and
environmental sustainability
The good news is that many of
these companies are going out of business..
