Words don't do justice to the horror of what biofuel will mean to this planet
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. We really won't know the final death tally for years to come from the Great Biofuel Famine. This is urgent, folks, and largely under the radar!
When humans don't get enough food to eat over a prolonged period of time, their immune systems get stressed and weakened, and they become vulnerable to common illnesses which the well fed can easily fight off. When I say that some of these people will die indirectly due to biofuel depleting food resources that is what I mean. They are STILL being starved to death. But many others will simply, literally be starved to death.
The impact on the US directly is that the wheat supplies are hitting lowest ever points, lower than any time since 1948 because it was made much more profitable in recent years to grow corn for ethanol than to grow wheat for food!! 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. Two years ago the price of corn was only $2 bushel, but expanding ethanol production has pushed corn prices up to over $6 a bushel today and since the main thing that we feed poultry and animals is corn? the prices of chicken, eggs, beef and dairy have all gone up as a consequence. 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.
There is no safe way to make biofuels in sufficient quantity to have any significant positive effect on our economy. Many independent studies from agencies, universities, etc show that ethanol from cellulose (switchgrass, wood chips, crops waste, etc.) will never be cost effective. Affordable biodiesel fuel from algae is a pipe dream that has wasted research money since the 1970s. Making ethanol from corn takes so much natural gas, coal, and oil to produce that it is not energy efficient, and certainly not worth the disastrous environmental and human life destruction it causes.
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 individuals can use at home to put together a small gizmo which instills hydrogen into the gasoline/air mixture that their car runs on.
The process makes smaller particles out of the particles that the system uses as fuel. Therefore it gets to use a lot more of the gas.
By doing this you can minimumly expect to improve your fuel economy by thirty to fifty percent or even more. With WATER4GAS gasoline is made consumable so you can improve your fuel economy.
It also helps make emissions significantly cleaner.
