<let name=data index=Title>Losing land to palm oil in Kalimantan</let>
<let name=data index=Text>this sort of thing may get spun as a problem ''caused by'' increasing demand for [[biofuel]]s; the real problem is the same one the [[American Indian]]s had when the Europeans arrived: different rules about how land is managed, and whoever has the guns wins the argument. [[Biofuel]]s ''may'' cause land-allocation issues, but they ''can'' be resolved without exploiting anyone; if there isn't enough available land to support the growing demand, then the price should rise to the point where alternatives become preferable.</let>
