Are Biofuels Worse Than Gasoline?

Special Report has an item the suggests the push to grow biofuels is doing more damage to the environment than gasoline:

There is more information that raises serious questions as to whether biofuels are the answer to global warming and reliance on oil. Cybercast News cites a study from a team led by Nobel Prize winner Paul Crutzen that concludes most biofuels cause more damage than ordinary gasoline, because the crops they come from require high levels of nitrogen in fertilizer and the resulting nitrous oxide emissions are far more harmful than carbon dioxide.

Also, noted primate scientist Jane Goodall says the race to grow crops for biofuels is damaging rain forests in Asia, Africa and South America and adding to emissions blamed for global warming.

We already know that corn prices are dramatically increasing because of the demand for biofuels, and that's driving food costs up around the world, hitting some areas particularly hard where corn is a staple part of the diet. Biofuels are now politically correct, but that doesn't mean they're going to accomplish the goals of the global warming crowd.
