Re: Food Prices Up - A Result of Biofuels?
Charley,
Excellent point. In fact OUR government actaullly pays farmers NOT to grow corn and adds money in subsidies to farmers in the WRONG places. If we removed the subsidies it would help a lot. If they would add a short term (1-2 year) subsidy to not grow tabacco and instead grow sugar cane, sugar beats or switch grass we could make lots of ethanol bio-fuel with no pain.
A few local companies are even growing agae using solar energy in the form of natural heat with great results for a fuel. The yeild so far shows number that would make an SUV driver never want to slow down under 90 mpg. We still have to improve vehicles, , have any diverse fuels and do it sustainable.
