Millions To Be Sacrificed To “Save The Planet” 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. Using United Nations global poverty statistics as a base, it is now clear that United States and European Union biofuel policies will significantly contribute to the early, avoidable deaths of between 10 and 20 million people in the year 2008 alone. Only a post-disaster assessment by future scientific studies and historians can give a more exact figure for the body count of The Great Biofuel Famine, which may continue for many years to come. This is urgent, folks, and all but invisible! When humans don't get enough food to eat over a prolonged period of time, their immune systems get stressed and weakened, and they become vulnerable to common illnesses which the well fed can easily fight off. When I say that some of these people will die indirectly due to biofuel depleting food resources that is what I mean. They are STILL being starved to death. But many others will simply, literally be starved to death. The impact on the US directly is that the wheat supplies are hitting lowest ever points, lower than any time since 1948 because it was made much more profitable in recent years to grow corn for ethanol than to grow wheat for food!! This spring, US farmers are planting more wheat but less corn, so next year corn prices will be even higher, with devastating effects on food prices around the world. 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. Two years ago the price of corn was only $2 bushel, but expanding ethanol production has pushed corn prices up to over $6 a bushel today which raises the price of chicken, eggs, beef, and dairy products, as corn is our main animal feed. Last year, America’s farms sold enough corn, soy and rapeseed for use as biofuel that could have fed 250 million people for an entire year with sufficient caloric intake for them to survive. The World Bank states that staple food prices have increased by an incredible 80% in the 3 year period from 2005 to 2008 and there is already a threat of political instability in thirty three countries as a result of this unprecedented change. There have been food riots in at least 20 different countries, even in wealthy Italy. And in countries such as Haiti people have taken to eating “cookies” made from mud Haitian food riots are beginning to look more like outright revolution. 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. Objective, industry independent studies 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. Making ethanol from corn takes so much natural gas, coal, and oil to produce that it is not energy efficient, and certainly not worth the disastrous environmental and human life destruction it causes. 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. There is so much evidence that biofuel is a disastrous "solution" to the Earth and its inhabitants, that one wonders who promotes it still. Obviously, not anyone with humanity's best interests at heart. Meanwhile the real solutions are occurring at the grassroots level. Water4Gas is one of the best. WATER4GAS is providing information for a nominal fee which individuals can use at home to create a small device which instills hydrogen into the gas/air mixture that their car or truck runs on. The process makes smaller particles out of the particles that the system burns as fuel. Because of the smaller size the engine is able to use a lot more of it. By doing this you can minimumly expect to reduce your gasoline usage by thirty to fifty percent or significantly more. With W4G gasoline is made usable so you can reduce your gasoline usage. It also helps reduce emissions significantly. This package of info has been purchased by over 9000 individuals already and happy members number about 99%! So how about you?
