American politicians are driving us off a cliff! The insane policy of
subsidizing and promoting biofuels to replace gasoline will only help
destroy the earth and the human race at a faster pace. Biofuels are
bad because they take more energy to produce than they yield as fuel.
Using scarce farmland to grow corn or other crops to produce fuel will
only increase food prices, and also increase pollution and top soil
erosion. The earth cannot feed our expanding population and at the
same time use precious farmland to produce fuel. Higher food prices
will starve the poor, increase inflation, which will raise the yearly
Social Security cost of living index. This price inflation will make
Social Security go bankrupt even sooner.

The only solution to our energy problem is to get out of the carbon
fuel cycle completely and switch to hydrogen fuel generated by nuclear
fission. We have enough nuclear fuel on hand to last for hundreds of
years in the form of nuclear warheads. Nuclear fuel can be
reprocessed again and again, and we have the fuel now, already mined
and paid for. Nuclear fission produces no carbon dioxide and does
not contribute to the greenhouse effect. Nuclear energy production
does not use precious farmland and thus does not erode topsoil.
Nuclear energy is cheap, reliable, and the new reactor designs are
incredibly safe.

It is time to end the biofuel fiasco now before too much damage is
done. Like the MTBE fuel additive disaster, which polluted ground
water all over the nation, we humans can make a mess of things when we
act without considering the true consequence of our actions. State
governors who support bills demanding the use of biofuels are only
using feel-good slogans and tactics that will end up starving our
people and destroying our environment at an even faster rate.

Humans need to not only control our population, but reduce human
population as well. Our planet cannot even support the 6.7 billion
people we have now adequately. Letting our population balloon to 10
or 12 billion will destroy the quality of life for all of us, and
bring about the demise of "civilization" as we know it. Our
politicians are not controlling illegal immigration because of short
term political considerations. No American politician is even
addressing the need to reduce human population to manageable levels.

Yes, the human race is destroying itself through overpopulation and
pollution, and the biofuel fiasco is just another nail in our coffin,
not a solution.

Christopher rightly talks of "overpopulation"; Earth would
prefer a population of 1,000,000,000 per Paul Watson.

The problem is we are headed for 25,000,000,000 per
Lyndon LaRouche. Ouch!

Oh crap !! More doomsday bovine excement. Get out your pencil and
paper and just calculate the square acres in Texas and divide your
figures into it. The entire population of the earth could live there
with a normal living area. The rest of the earth could grow food.
There can't be too big a shortage of farm land, Hell, Oregon is
turning thousands of acres back to wetlands for breeding mosquitoes.
The governent is turning millions of acres into wildness which is of
no use to anyone and then taking all the national forests and creating
rules that make it the equivalent to wilderness,and taking out all the
roads so no one can use it. Talk about destroying the economy, any
country that doesn't have resources might as well be barren desert.
With global warming coming we won't need all that heating oil and
should cut down on pollution. I never liked the idea of living in an
ice cave.- Hide quoted text -

The murder of any healthy tree which is not part of a 'tree farm'
is another small nail in our coffin.

Do you treat your indiv. property the way we do The Earth?
Of course not. And that faux "Texas" thesis has been used by
anti-abort bombthrowers for years; it's a shtink-eee.
