Not to be overdramatic but there is no way to overemphasize what a horror that biofuel will be for our planet if allowed to continue even one more day
Using United Nations global poverty statistics as a base, it is now clear that United States and European Union biofuel policies will significantly contribute to the early, avoidable deaths of between 10 and 20 million people in the year 2008 alone. Only a post-disaster assessment by future scientific studies and historians can give a more exact figure for the body count of The Great Biofuel Famine, which may continue for many years to come. This is urgent, folks, and largely under the radar!
Most of these people will die due to weakend immune systems which are depleted by a lack of nutrition. That is the main, indirect way that a lack of sufficient food kills people, but many will die of direct, emaciating starvation as well.
The USDA states that by the end of May, US wheat supplies will be lower than at any time since 1948 because so many wheat farmers switched to growing corn for biofuel. This spring, US farmers are planting more wheat but less corn, so next year corn prices will be even higher, with devastating effects on food prices around the world.
Biofuels are touted as the solution to global warming. Global warming may or may not be true. But biofuels are a disaster that can only lead to more death and destruction of people, property and the atmosphere no matter what biofuel crops we grow. In 2006 corn was on the market at only $2/bushel, but expanding ethanol production has pushed corn prices up to over $6 a bushel today which raises the price of chicken, eggs, beef, and dairy products, as corn is our main animal feed. In the year 2007, the USA alone turned enough corn, soybeans, and rapeseed into biofuels to satisfy the yearly caloric needs of over 250 million people. The World Bank states that staple food prices have increased by an incredible 80% in the 3 year period from 2005 to 2008 and there is already a threat of political instability in thirty three countries as a result of this unprecedented change. In even some wealthier countries like Italy there have been food riots. In Haiti, some of the poor have resorted to eating cookies made of mud! Haitian food riots are beginning to look more like outright revolution.
Biofuel is a bad idea that sounds like a good idea and there is no way to make it match up with the realities of the real world so it becomes something positive for either the environment or the economy. Many independent studies from agencies, universities, etc show that ethanol from cellulose (switchgrass, wood chips, crops waste, etc.) will never be cost effective. Some companies, including major oil corporations, have sought to extract biodiesel from algae but they have been trying unsuccessfully with a great waster of money and time and effort for over thirty years now. In addition to the effects on the world food supply, using corn as a source for ethanol takes so much use of other energy sources that it is not even 1/5th as efficient as fossil fuel and instead it is a killer of people and a hazard to the environment.
Respected scientific studies have shown that biofuel production is torture for wildlife and the biosphere, and speeds global warming faster than using ordinary gasoline.
The evidence is so overwhelmingly and severely against biofuel and its horrendous ramifications that no person of good will would ever support it.
While all of this goes on there are real solutions coming forward but these are all at the grassroots level. Water4Gas is one of the best.
is sharing information for a nominal fee which car owners can use at home to create a small gizmo which instills hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their automobile runs on.
What this does is make smaller particles out of the particles that the engine uses as fuel. Therefore it is able to use considerably more of the gasoline.
By doing this you can minimumly expect to increase your fuel economy by 30-50% or significantly more. With WATER4GAS gasoline is made consumable so you can increase your fuel economy.
It also helps make emissions significantly cleaner.
