Despite my facetious remarks about biofuels earlier in this thread,  
it looks like we are going to need every possible source of energy in  
the near future. Biofuels will probably come at a severe cost to our  
farming base, but may be essential to get through the coming years.   
The harm caused by growing crops for fuel makes drilling in ANWR,  
which can easily be remediated, look trivial by comparison at this  
point.  A soil free method might work, but cost and volume of  
production would then be barriers.
