What may be a drawback to using biofuels as a renewable energy resource?
There are several potential drawbacks. If the biofuel is ethanol, then the entire fuel distribution infrastructure and fleet of vehicle engines need to be changed in order to accomodate ethanol, which is more corrosive than gasoline. Moreover, the fuel needs are so large that replacing gasoline with biofuels requires an immense amount of land, which can compete with farmland for food, particularly of corn is used as the biofuel feedstock. Biofuels made from cellulose (the cell walls of plants) reduces this issue slightly. Biofuel production from algae shows some potential but still faces a number of challenges, particularly related to land and water use.
