HowardRepub. Congressman Rips Bio-Fools
Homeless New Yorker fundraises
Yes, bloggers, I don't know about you, but, I like to eat. And when more and more farmland is converted to producing bio-fuels (such as corn to ethanol) I worry. Cong. Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD), spoke out yesterday at a hearing, on the pro-biofuels bill H.R. 547 -- "Advanced Fuels Infrastructure Research and Development Act," which is being marked up this morning by the
Witnesses at yesterday's hearing gave glowing reports on biofuels, especially Bob Dineen, Pres. and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association, representing the international bio-fools stampede, from Wall Street to the local dupe. Several Committee members pointed out to Dineen problems already apparent in the food-for-fuels trade-off, for example, Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA). She said that in her C.D., the price run-up for corn is causing
impossible prices for her dairy farmer consituents; and even so, there is an ethanol "shortage" for drivers in California.
Bartlett said, "All land in corn is in corn," and there should NOT be more land put into the crop. "Corn is one of the greediest crops we have" in terms of its nutrient and water
So, the Anglo-Dutch oligarchy if not stopped is not only trying to get us into a war with Iran, but they are taking the food out of children's mouths. Yes, Cargill, ADM and the other big grain companies are pushing this genocidal policy of food for fuel for fools. Now do you understand why we in the US, Aus, Gr Br, and yes, even Iran and Israel, need nuclear power? In fact, environmentalism is shown again to be a giant real estate game, to destroy the productive use of millions of acres of land.

..as I said about 'troppo pollies,' I think dear ole Roscoe has ethanol in his bottle - more than he puts in his tank ...
Maybe we'll just grow corn and then eat the cars?
Maybe they'll make Germany an corn-state for the world?
Who knows where this thing will go?
Great Post!

Fortunately, we in the US have to change things. Europe and Germany are totally bleepe@#$%^d up on this. The Russians have some knowledge on this, in the tradition of Vernadsky, the great Russian biophysicist. They know that we humans are part of the biosphere, we form the noosphere, where human knowledge improves the biosphere. The noosphere sits atop the biosphere, and the abiotic (non-living) domain.
Synthetic hydrogen fuels made by third generation (safe and efficient) nuclear reactors are the only way to begin to address the future, in a non-genocidal manner. As far as global warming goes, this could be caused by sunspots anyway, but if it were true, the above remains truer still. Ttruth is beauty, beauty truth, that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know" (John Keats-"Ode to a Grecian Urn").
