Where can I buy tortilla offset credits?!?

Using plants to feed our fuel needs may be a great idea, and the biofuel goldrush could be a moneyspinner for several poor countries, but some experts warn people may go hungry as food prices rise. Fans of biofuels give the impression we could soon be running cars on maize, producing electricity with sugar, and getting power from palm oil.

Even though the biofuel boom is only just beginning, it has already pushed up the cost of staples in places like Mexico where rocketing tortilla prices have sparked angry protests.

DD Note . . . I don't get it, we find an alternate fuel source and some other group of wackos give us a doom and gloom assessment. I plan to buy premium fuel for my SUV for as long as it's available, and I ain't giving up cornbread or tortillas . . . so I say: "Argo" (need that transulated?)
