Can't read the whole article now, just glanced through it - but I'm afraid itæ's a lot of truth in it.
I can see the point in countrys like Brazil instead of importing more oil try to "grow" ethanol to meet higher fuel demands, out of purely economical reasons, but the CO2 balance in what theyr're doing may be negative (I don't know).

But - rapid conversion from mineral oil to bio fuel I'm afraid will create more problems than it solves.
