Interestingly, as we are using more and more bio-fuel, there is concern that the use of such organic material is now contributing to the explosion in world food prices. The average westerner might not notice if a bit of corn costs a bit more, but in the poorer countries we are seeing riots as people living on less than a dollar a day are suddenly being asked to pay 50% more for staple food items.
