Question
Fossil fuels contain the carbon and energy of organisms that have been dead for a very long time—in some cases, for millions of years. Biofuels, in contrast, are fuels that are made from recently living organisms, usually plants. Since biofuels come from living plants, the carbon dioxide released from burning biofuels is part of the modern-day carbon cycle.
 
All of the following statements are true statements about biofuels. Select which statements are negatives of using biofuels as a primary source of energy. Check all that apply.
 
 
A. With limited agricultural land, growing crops for biofuel might compete with growing crops for food.
 
B. The carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is carbon dioxide that was recently taken out of the atmosphere, so it does not overload the carbon cycle.
 
C. Large-scale agriculture needed to grow plants for large amounts of biofuel may be damaging to the environment in other ways.
