He admits biofuels are bad

Yesterday, Britain became the first Western country to declare it would limit biofuel production for reasons that could increase food prices and deforestation.

Recent reports show that the production of biofuels from cereals, soybeans, corn . increases food prices and increases poverty, but the European Community (EU) does not care. And England is the first European country to admit this fact.

British Transport Minister Ruth Kelly announced a cut in the report after Gallagher Report, emphasizing that biofuels could push 10.7 million Indians into poverty and push EU food prices to 15%. .

"It seems that for a developed country you have to say something twice before they hear it," World Bank President Robert Zoellick criticized the impact of biofuels in April, and urging G8 nations to reduce biofuels expansion last month.

Britain's change is directly in conflict with the EU's goal, which proposes that biofuels will have to account for 10% of energy for member states' transportation by 2020.

Despite accusations of biofuels, spokesman Michael Mann said last week that the EU will stick to its goals. Their reason is the actual increase in fuel prices as a result of bad weather and the demand for dairy meat is increasing, and that the damage caused by biofuels has been exaggerated.
