The problem with counting "side effect" products is nobody ever takes into account the supply/demand for that product. Sure making enough biofuel for the entire US produces 100 tons of X. But if the worldwide demand for X is 5 tons, then you've now generated 95 tons of waste that needs to be disposed of.
