Enviro-nuts and libs now have a new conundrum to deal with.
The U.N. (one of their favored entities of course) now states that we are approaching a global food supply crisis, and in their statement, they put much of the blame on the new push for bio-fuels!
Many nations are now subsidizing farmers to convert their wheat and soybean fields to corn. Canada and the U.S. are taking the lead on that. Ethanol is the objective. The global-warming crowd loves the stuff for it's clean-burning. The enviro-nuts love it because corn fields are prettier than oil-derricks.
There are many issues surrounding this ethanol craze. Like everything, there is a downside to it. Actually several. It is a poor substitute for oil in many ways. But in this case we are talking about diverting food products to fuel. What to do now?
Let's ask Alex Baldwin or Angellina Jolie or Al Gore.
Show them some of the hungry children in Africa or Asia, and then let them think about how we are taking grain and soybean fields and turning them to corn so that we can drive our Tahoe-hybrid and save the planet! Not to mention that we can perhaps end this all this killing for oil! Oh and this ugly drilling!
Of course Alex and Angellina aren't hungry. And they can easily afford $5.00 a gallon bio-fuels. So they can continue to fight against "big oil" and the evil of using our military to protect the supply. Ah, but there's always another side. Do they ever stop to think about it?
