It's Now 'Official': Ethanol Is a Scam [View article]
We need to change our lifestyles - use less energy - unless we can find a 'magic' energy source that doesn't affect the environment. Even producing solar cells or windmills takes power and that must come from somewhere. An energy source that returns barely more energy than is used to produce it is only produced because government can rob taxpayers to pay for it, (a-la corn ethanol). Sadly, most of the world's citizens will not change their energy consumption habits until events compel them to do so. Two events on the horizon will force the issue. One is trading water for energy. I hope that most will choose water over energy. The other is food. Again, the logical choice is food. Food was fated to go up before corn was used for ethanol, (still a terrible idea). 6 & 1/2 BILLION PEOPLE wanting more food, (especially protein), might have something to do with that . When people have to use their money to feed their families they will fuel their vehicles less. HUSKERBOB is in the driver's seat as he grows and sells food, (unless the government intervenes in the free market as it did in Argentina).
