Re: Food Prices Up - A Result of Biofuels?
After a needed haitus, I am back,
Joseph,
Corn is by no means and in any way shape or form, sustainable. I have been preaching this to anyone who stood still long enough for the last three years. Yield and final output ratios are not there, no matter how its sliced or spun.
As far as tobacco and junk food is concerned, we live in these United States where this crap is king. Unless the masses experienced mass enlightenment or epiphanies, this "problem" will not go away for a LONG time.
As I see it corn will have a short shelf life when it comes to being a viable biofuel. monies have been invested and perpetuation is almost guaranteed to meet return quotas. Then and only then will corn based fuel fall by the wayside.
Good idea initially and well intentioned, however, yet again no foresight.
