this is how speculators drive up the price of grain.
See date of JT below; the address changes every day, so the JT number is no longer good if you don't look on the same day as the post.

Hello Martian, hello everyone,
One did not have to be a fine strategist or a great visionary to realize 2 years ago that biofuels based on food plants are far from being a panacea and automatically generate a tension on the prices of foodstuffs. Their economic viability is on the other hand guaranteed as long as there is no other way of producing hydrocarbons properly ...
That said, they are still very underdeveloped and occupy less than 5% of cultivated land worldwide. Fortunately! But in the USA, the movement is accelerating ...
Biofuels are not directly responsible for the rise in prices. They simply add a drop of water that overflows the vase.
Those responsible for the rise in prices are all the developed states which:
- on the one hand have never seriously prepared the peak oil
- on the other hand, have never helped and properly developed agriculture in poor countries.
To speak more technical, the future of biofuels is the cultivation of non-food plants, preferably by the sea to leave arable land with wheat and corn ... There is also the giant Miscanthus ... N is it not Christophe?
And the future of fuels in short is to produce them from renewable energies such as solar by various means: hydrolysis, thermolysis of biomass ...
But all that, no report says it, the journalists prefer to wade in the present moment and the blinded blindness without any vision or reflection of long term.
And it's so much easier and more interesting to investigate Kosciusko-Morizet on his mood swings with Borloo and GMOs 
Finally, nothing new under the sun!
