Will cleaner fuels raise the cost of food?
The shift toward the use of biomass fuels is good news for the environment, or so we hope. But it may have other knock-on effects - like raising the price of staple foodstuffs by a significant degree. Maybe the wiser solution would be to reduce our dependence on all fuels, not just the ones that come from fossil deposits.
