The best way forward is not biofuels in the long run, but solar power, wind power, non-fosssil fule powered engines, plus cutting energy use in a big way!
Research is only now starting in a big way to look at better alternatives - wish they had ten years ago!
How about 'harvesting' the methane from the ocean beds? Engines can run on methane, plus if the stuff is getting into our atmosphere (and it looks like it has begun to do so, bubbling up due to rising temperatures), it's an agent that way outclasses the effects of 'our' CO2 as a greenhouse gas!!

No need to remind you that all of us on this forum live during the most luxurious period in the history of mankind! Remember these times my friends, because there is a distinct possibility that our children (like our parents during the 1950s and 60s) will experience leaner times.
