Castro criticises our use of biofuels

Fausta's blog:

"Cuban President Fidel Castro has strongly criticised the use of biofuels by the US, in his first article since undergoing surgery last year.

He said George W Bush's support for the use of food crops in fuel production would cause 3bn deaths from hunger."

Just like all those Brazilians who died when they converted to alcohol for their cars?

There are legitimate reasons to wonder if using food for fuel makes sense, but upsetting Castro would not be one of them - that is a benefit.
