Biofuel is already killing many, many poor people. So it is not that I am trying to be dramatic. I could not possibly be dramatic enough.
Of the earth's 6.66 billion residents, 4 billion live in poverty, and those at the bottom of that group are already very skinny and without sufficient food to be able to function normally. Many of these poorest people are to be sacrificed in the name of highly questionable alternative energy sources which don't even help improve the environment. Just a total loss across the boards for everyone but a few politicians and a few corporations The estimates are 10 to 20 million dead in 2008 alone! This is urgent, folks, and all but invisible!
Even in our ?shining city on the hill?, the land of pastures of plenty and amber waves of grain, the homeless, veterans, the disabled, the elderly, and all those living on low fixed incomes are going to have a tough time surviving our new "GREEN" policies, which John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama currently support.
World leaders attending the recent Progressive Governance Summit in England heard testimony from experts about the growing global food crisis and the destructive impact of turning food into fuel. Former US President Bill Clinton spoke frankly at the meeting, stating that "What's really hurting the food markets is America moving into ethanol. People there are moving into corn and you have pasta riots in Italy related to what some people are doing in farming in America."
Biofuels are a dead end technology 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 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. According to the World Bank the price of staple foods has soared an astonishing and highly alarming 80% in the last three years since 2005 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! The food riots in Haiti have looked more like revolution than just demand for food.
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. Affordable biodiesel fuel from algae is a pipe dream that has wasted research money since the 1970s. 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.
Scores of scientific studies from respected authorities have demonstrated that results from biofuel generation include torture of wildlife, destruction of the biosphere and faster global warming.
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 providing information at a low price which people can use in their garage or wherever to build a small device which infuses hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their car runs on.
The process makes smaller particles out of the ones that the engine burns as fuel. So it gets to use considerably more of it.
With WATER4GAS you can reasonably expect to improve your gas performance by thirty to fifty percent or even more. With W4G gasoline is made usable so you can improve your gas performance.
It also helps make emissions significantly cleaner.
