When millions of people are going hungry, it’s a crime against humanity that food should be diverted to biofuels. - An anonymous Indian government official.
My thought exactly. 98% of the whole biofuel industry is a government funded (meaning your tax dollars) boondoggle. Someone is making making money off this crap but almost everyone else loses.
A few special interest groups are probably getting exactly what they wanted, even though the result isn’t what their press releases say they’re for.

Finally, someone with more than a half a brain is stating the obvious. Burning our food source is a bad idea. Wow, what genius.
Hmmm, ethanol gives me less miles to the gallon, so, I have to use more.
And, it wastes a lot of energy to make fuel out of corn, so, we’re not really saving all that much.
And then the geniuses see how much of our food chain relies on corn. Humans eat it. Cows eat it. We eat cows. Then, the industrius farmer sees profit in corn and no longer grows wheat… need I say more??
