india's first ever biofuel policy is being drafted. as expected, it seems motivated for 'economic' reasons while being waved as an effort towards climate change. cultivating land for biofuels instead of food crops is one big reason for the food crisis that has been in the news lately. it's important for the central govt. to involve environment specialists in such policy makings instead of being pressured by talks with the US.
