This next clip shows Jatropha in India… monoculture and underutilisation of the plant because the view is biofuelcentric not holistic!

Its hard to justify when developers are razing forests and sensitve ecosystems for plantations. Turning plants into fuel is often more polutting than burning petrol! Using crops for fuel when millions are starving just doesn,t seem right Good post
