The interesting thing about bio fuels is that I wholly believe the agriculture in this country would rise to the production challenge. We have steadily been able to outproduce demand year over year. With better seed genetics we have increased crop yields per acreage several times over during the past 10 years. And with better science, ethanol production can be done with more than just the grain, like the stalks and leaves and everything else (was a recent article about this).
This would hopefully mean an end to the continuous disappearance of farms in this country, though there are other contributing factors as well. I'm all for the American farmer, and like was said, I'd rather the profits stay here in this country than make the sheiks rich.
