Thank you.

I personally appreciate that there are so many articles warning the support of biofuel without considering the possible negative outcomes like mass land usage and food shortages. Not that I did something for this, and yes I am against the carbon emission, but my argument is that there should be theoretical guidelines for the idea of energy.

My personal reason for being against ethanol is the trajectory of it exactly follows the media play over the environmental crisis. It is super easy to understand for people the idea of fuel coming from daily food which doesn't seem like cost that much in the market. Yet, lots of ethanol advocacies ignore possible outcome of the future when we starts to depend our fuel consumption to the ethanol.

I am not supporting the idea of fossil fuel, but there were certain advantage of using fossil fuels because the location of resource was below the surface, which means that the process of obtaining the fuel didn't have massive impacts to the ecology of the surface. My argument is then, the idea of planting and obtaining the fuel need to come from the resource that doesn't threaten the survival of living organism in any other way.. like solar, or bacteria, or trash.. and there are tons of research going on to propose the substitution for the biodiesel, so not using ethanol is not the end of the world.
