The European market for biofuels is one that is rife with all sorts of problems. There are competing studies that show it to be good, or bad. There are the stances of all the different nations about how much biofuel should be produced, or if it should be produced at all. Meanwhile, there are some countries that want to be energy-independent, but they do not have the resources to do so.
Addressing the fuel and energy problems in Europe is not a place to have political discussions about how biofuels impact someone’s economic or political position. The best thing for Europe to do is to pick a strategy and stick to it. Without this type of strategy, most people will find that they have no options for alternative or biofuels because the European community is too busy haggling over them rather than doing something about them.
