It always depends on if there is an impact of these biofuels that is negative in other ways. As you said to dis one hole to fill another is not a great idea. So to trade carbon emissions for setting vast landscapes under water and potentially other consequences of large scale biofuel production - does it make sense?
Here is a guy speaking out in favour of algae biofuels for example: (the first half is rather boring if you had biology in college  )IFYOULOVETHISPLANET I think his main argument is that algae made all the oil we have now anyways and that "we" can grow them in areas that are "useless anyways" like arid areas. What he means of course is that these areas are not yet useable by humans for agriculture or forestry. I have not listened to it to the end yet, but I will. Just wanted to post it here because it is on topic.
