Land Use
- Direct and Indirect

Really slow on this one and very much on the fly, but how about:
processing costs in terms of energy, materials used in infrastructure and process, financial ?
the emissions from the vehicles etc using the stuff - there must be some,no matter how good the biofuel
impoverishment of soil/loss of fertility/degradation?
psychological factors - props up the status quo and reinforces mindsets opposed to adaption
