If it is not a "hoax", then it is that old sales technique of selling the sizzle and not the steak. The issue it seems to me is, is it good policy to use land for the production of food or is it good policy to use land for the production of fuel? Can you do both? It is also a matter of what are the advantages and disadvantages of using land to produce fuel, it seems to me. Unless we know what the advantages and disadvantages are, it is rather difficult for me to believe that we have the information to determine whether this is a smart thing to do, or not a smart thing to do. One thing I do know. Using land to produce fuel is great for countries like the United States which produces more food than its population needs, but is absolutely a lousy policy for countries who cannot even feed their own people.
