Biofuels under attack as world food prices soar

After reading the above article at yahoo this is my reaction:
First of all, the way things presently are it is a very tough choice.
The reason I'm saying this is that if the countries now developing biofuels
all of a sudden stop it will grind those countries and civilizations to a halt.
Where I live gasoline is already $4 a gallon for regualar and $4.35 a gallon for
premium.To give you some perspective within 5 years ago the price of regular was around
$1.11 a gallon for regular. At these present prices our civilization in the United States
is not far from collapse if they remain this high for very long.
To stop biofuels at this point might be the Coup de grace(the end of the US) It might be that
the US and these
other countries have no choice but to keep biofuels or else our civilizations will
shrivel up and die. A few thousands dying is nothing compared to Billions dying if we
stop biofuels now. Things are so out of whack at present that I'm sorry we seemed to be
looking at something worldwide that is as bad or worse than the great depression or world War II.
There are NO GOOD ANSWERS. Everywhere one looks it is a disaster. There is only one choice.
"Prepare for the worst and hope for the best!"
