Bio-Fuel Solution or problem

My current event is about the talk over corn being the key to being oil independent. The article was about how much of a sham the talk about corn is. The article talked about how many countries that have switched over to using Bio-fuel have increased emissions. For example in the Brazil over the fact that its country can run over 45 percent of its country on Bio-fuel. The article talked about the cons of people switching to Bio-fuels. One example is the fact that countries that are switching to Bio-fuel are cutting down more of the rain forest to meet the demand of the fuel and the food supply. Besides the problem of running the rain forest into the ground using your food supply as gas isn't always a good idea. People needed to hop off the band wagon for Bio-fuels and realize that their is a better alternative that we can not exploit. The sun is a much easier place to fuel our cars and make a profit. What politicians need to do is stop looking at the quick fix which is Bio-fuel and look for the long turn solutions like solar energy.
