"Biofuel subsidies could leave Britain with bread shortages as wheat is diverted to bio-ethanol production, the national millers' association has warned."

Always a downside to seemingly great solutions, The National Association of British and Irish Millers warns:

"... you're not only looking at the potential demise of the UK milling industry, but you're potentially taking out the market permanently."

However, the story goes on to point out that the UK already exports 2 million tonnes of surplus wheat every year!
