In the name of reducing dependency on foreign oil, the development of ethanol has been both encouraged and subsidized with tax dollars.

In the name of combating man-caused global warming – which is the biggest scam ever perpetrated upon mankind – the efforts to expand production of domestic oil supplies have been continually blocked.

As a result, we?re burning our food supplies and keeping our energy supplies buried in the ground.

The process of developing ethanol consumes just as much (or more) energy than it creates.

[i]”…..political leaders from poor countries (contend) that these fuels are driving up food prices and starving poor people.?[/i]

We?re burning our food supplies and keeping our energy supplies buried in the ground. If this isn?t lunacy ? pure lunacy – I don?t know what is.
