Anyone with a little research and a little forward projection can see that we do no have the capacity to economically produce enough ethanol for fuel use. Heck! We don't even have enough rice production for feed all Filipinos, why waste time, money and land to grow crops for fuel?
We used to export rice to other countries in the past. Now we have to import rice from neighboring countries just to feed ourselves. How can we progress as a country when we cannot even be self-reliant in food production?
Crops for fuel or crops for food. That is the choice we have to make for now.
