Royal Dutch Shell, the world's top marketer of biofuels, considers using food crops to make biofuels "morally inappropriate" as long as there are people in the world who are starving, an executive said on Thursday.

It's a good enough argument. The use of biofuels, especially made from food crops, is primarily from political motives. At the same time, we could make the argument that using coal and other chemical substances for fuel to make electricity is morally inappropriate because they can be used for so many other things than just burning up. We should use radioactive elements for generating electricity because, unlike carbon compounds, they cannot be made into anything useful like plastics. So the environmentalists who are really interested in the best use of resources should be first and foremost in favor of nuclear energy.
