"Food supply security" is the hot topic in Europe, where rebellion
against the biofuel bandwagon has been accelerating as fast as food
prices have risen. If you want to join a club, a cult, and hop on a
bandwagon, then FOOD SECURITY is the winning ticket. People will
always need to eat, want to eat, and like paying reasonable prices for
their viddles. The biofuel rats have been eating our grain for over a
decade, with world food shortages the result. Ethanol production took
only 7% of American corn in 1998, but has grown as a cancer on our
food supply, taking 37 to 38% by 2007. If you want to see the results
of this ever increasing gnawing away at our food supply, then spend an
hour reading the news stories posted here - http://home.att.net/~meditation/biofuel-news.html

The biofuel rats must be gotten rid of; the con men selling the idea
that we should sacrifice our family's food supply in order to make a
paltry amount of fuel. Even if the USA dedicated 100% of our corn and
soybean production to biofuels, we would only satisfy 12% of gasoline
demand and 6% of diesel demand. "The biofuel potential of the entire
human food supply is quite a small amount of energy compared to the
global oil supply - somewhere between 15 to 20% on a volumetric basis,
so 10 to 15% on an energy basis." - Quote from Stuart Staniford in
Fermenting the Food Supply [ http://www.theoildrum.com/node/2431]

If we want to get serious about energy, that means we need a real
energy source like American shale, which could end 100% of US oil
imports and make the US an oil exporter for a hundred years. If you
believe in global warming, as I do, then we have to go nuclear; use
the inorganic energy source that can provide synthetic gas and jet
fuel made from carbon dioxide sucked out of the atmosphere, or make
hydrogen gas if we want to invest in the needed infrastructure.
Nuclear is the only way to stop global warming other than kill off 90%
of the human population, which nature will do in relatively short
order if we continue making topsoil eroding, water polluting, desert
creating, world starving biofuels.
