Another thing to think about is the fact that ethanol and biodiesel crops are crops that can be used as food. So if the profit margine for selling the crops to fuel producers is higher than the food producers farmers are going to sell their crops to the fuel folks, thus cutting into food production. This could cause a big problem.
