What are the environmental benefits (supposedly) of biofuel? The name 'biofuel' certainly sounds green enough. Is it? Anyone?

The complete pipedream of biofuel is that it's carbon neutral. Whatever CO2 your car spits out burning biofuel is absorbed by wonderfurl green corn fields so they can produce you new biofuel.
The problem is seeing what it takes to run a fertilizer plant and a biofuel refinery will quickly make you realize what a farce it is.
