30300: Morse (comment) Castro/biofuels (fwd)

I saw an article in Haiti's The Nouvelliste which had Castro saying he was 
against biofuels and they would create more hunger throughout the world. He 
doesn't offer an alternative. Any one else have any thoughts on this. I always 
assumed that biofuels would be an integral part of Haiti's near future. I also 
assumed it would be good for Haitian farmers to have something to grow and 
sell. There's a lot of unused land around the Haitian country side and the 
Haitian economy can't really afford imported gas/oil considering that it takes 
2-3 days, working at minimum wage, to be able to buy a gallon of gas.
