Growing fuel, rather than drilling for it is trumpeted by many as an antidote to rising prices and global warming.

And this week, biofuel experts from around Asia are meeting in India to discuss further development.

The latest crop getting attention is 'jatropha' - a weed that many see as an answer to India's growing energy needs.

However, Al Jazeera's Matt McClure reports from remote Uttar Pradesh, about the controversy that is raging over growing fuel instead of food.

    Which is why the troops in Iraq should help in Afghanistan. Plus some EU countries are fighting like the UK, Denmark and Poland.

  • Why, Afghanistan is ...

    Why, Afghanistan is in worse shape than Iraq. The Europeans won't even reinforce their NATO commitments.

    But the evening news doesn't tell you about how evil it was to go into Afghanistan 24/7. Newsflash, the Taliban is gone, so the resolution expired, just like Iraq's authorization, so there is no longer a 9/11 connection. More civilians have been killed there than Iraq. But that doesn't fit the PR machine, even though the Democrats are a war party. End intervention everywhere!

  • Bush is such a ...

    Bush is such a dumbass. I prefer to call him Junior (understating his status and authority in his administration). I say we bring back Clinton. Those where 8 wonderful years of peace and prosperity.

  • I agree. Obama ...

    I agree. Obama looks like a potentially good president to me. Get all troops out of Iraq and reinforce the ones fighting in Afghanistan.

    Why won't anyone look up "Lend Lease WWII, Great Britain" on Google? I didn't write it,personally I have no vested interest either way. Its just a fact of history. If you are a historian, you missed a book, or were absent the day they lectured this in class.
