Why hasn't the introduction of biofuel reduced duty?

Having a required biofuel content is just going to make the whole world wide food problem worse. At the end of the day it's all about money, so whoever can pay the most is where the crops will go, i.e. biofuel.

And the reason the duty wont be brought down is also because of money, i.e. less for the government.

I thought it was obvious from the first time I heard about biofuel, it was alsways going to cause a conflict some where along the line, food or fuel. Fuel for us less food for others.

Simply because the government are money grabbing baztards.

That's why.

*******

Everybody has already identified the reason. The government is greedy and unprincipled.

An interesting statistic I read recently was that 50 litres of biofuel needed sufficient grain to feed a child for 1 whole year. I'm afraid that the tree huggers have led us all down the path of unethical and immoral use of the world's natural resources.

everythins been said already, government are just highway robbers takin and takin very rarely givin back, yet another chapter in the long list of wrongs by the government!

vast tracts of land will be used to grow the stuff for biofuel,hence less food for the starving nations...this is going to be a conflict there are going to be wars over plants,and soon our leaders will be thinking of ways to put a tax on the crops...by pushing for green fuels the eco brigade has condemned the poor nations to more starvation,if i was a poor farmer i know what i'd be planting and it would'nt be cabbages.
