Had a tax on fuels be structured to support biofuels with a lower impact on food supplies, I would have to agree with you. And there's plenty of feedstock for those cleaner fuels, ranging from carcass fats that could be turned into biodiesel and other slaughtering leftovers more useful for biogas/biomethane and agricultural fertilizer, to leftovers from nearly any crop that are viable for ethanol or eventually both ethanol and biodiesel. Not to mention the option to keep using those vegetable leftovers to feed livestock and process their manure into biomethane and fertilizers.
