Food fight: White Castle vs biofuels

http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/bulletin/food-fight-white-castle-vs-biofuels/21994?tag=nl.e660&s_cid=e660&ttag=e660&ftag=

Restaurant chains are complaining that using corn to make ethanol is pushing up food prices.

This is a very good argument, and hopefully, someone will be smart enough to eventually realize that making ethanol for fuel is a net-energy loser. More energy is consumed making the ethanol than the energy the ethanol can deliver. You also cannot divorce ethanol from fossil-fuels. It takes loads of diesel to run the tractors and trucks used to farm the corn to be made into ethanol. It takes natural gas to make the fertilizer to grow the corn, and it takes petrochemicals to make pesticides/herbicides to protect the plants from insects and weeds. Therefore, initiatives to make corn-based ethanol as a renewable fuels is one big heaping scam. Farmers are loving the subsidies the government is giving them for this, however.

Let the Muslim's keep their damn oil and we'll keep our corn.

Hope they, and the rest of the world, enjoy oil soup as my still makes fuel for my vehicles.

The Muslims are going to run out of oil as we use technology to access oil we could not recover before in tight-shale formations. We will be pumping 10 millions barrels per day here in the U.S. by 2030. Saudi Arabia runs dry and becomes a net-oil importer by then. Oil is going to be more expensive in 2030, as the psychological-shock of Saudi Arabia no longer being an exporter sets in.

Then I guess those hard working Arab farms best start concentrating on planting crops to feed their people vice fighting. Because I'm going to need my crop to keep my tractor goin'.

The farm lobby sold ethanol.....which if you want to be president, you have to make the farmers in Iowa happy, and Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas farmers are laughing all the way to the bank, with annual subsidies too boot.

The last slider I had was at the Indianapolis speed trials.....and I understood why they were called sliders.....have not had another one in 40 years......if they could somehow capture the gas from sliders.......America would be energy independent.

After a night of carousing, we use to get a sackful, eat our fill, and put the leftovers in the fridge to eat cold in the morning for breakfast.

Gawd's honest truth.

Youth is an amazing thing.
