"My wife and I did our usual shopping yesterday. Seeing food lines and roped-off counters in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA was a bit of a shock.
biofuels are largely a government-sponsored scam. With a few exceptions (see below), biofuels produce no net increase in energy output, and they cause food shortages while creating strong economic incentives for the destruction of the very rainforests we desperately need to stabilize the climate!
.... Not all of these price spikes are due to the conversion of croplands to biofuel fields, but much of it is. As a result, it's suddenly becoming obvious to nearly everyone that the pursuit of biofuels, as currently structured, is a grand greenwashing hoax. It doesn't produce more fuel than it consumes, and it drives up food prices to boot!
.... Consumers are about to be faced with a choice they never wanted to have to make: Should I buy fuel, or food?
In other words: Do I want to drive my car, or do I want to eat?

Thanks a lot Neocons, for wrecking our economy in service to Israel. and thanks a lot Global warming cultists, for not realizing that farm land needed to grow your less energetic, just-as-polluting, engine-wrecking ethanol would mean LESS farm land to grow food." -- Mike Rivero of whatreallyhappened.com
Same thing will happen here on the continent -- and it will, readers, it will!!!
All PART of the PLAN!!!!
Oh, and I second his thank yous, too!!!!
Hey don't believe me:
"The Biofuels Scam, Food Shortages and the Coming Collapse of the Human Population"
"(NaturalNews) It was one of the dumbest "green" ideas ever proposed: Convert millions of acres of cropland into fields for growing ethanol from corn, then burn fossil fuels to harvest the ethanol, expending more energy to extract the fuel than you get from the fuel itself! Meanwhile, sit back and proclaim you've achieved a monumental green victory (President Bush, anyone?) all while unleashing a dangerous spike in global food prices that's causing a ripple effect of food shortages and rationing around the world....biofuels are largely a government-sponsored scam.
