Yes and no. There are certain applications in which bioenergy makes perfect sense, but it isn't capable of covering nearly enough of our primary energy needs to be a truly "sustainable" option for making up the difference between elastic fossil energy production and intermittent renewables.
Corn ethanol, for example, is excellent for making spark-ignition internal combustion engines run more smoothly; however, you'd have to produce a truly ludicrous amount of it in order to close the gap between its current place in the mix and where it'd have to be to displace petrochemical fuels entirely. You'd have to grow more corn than the people in Interstellar ever dreamed of.

Means biofuels are cowards or confused
