Someone told my wife we would all be in electric cars in 10 years. So no more oil business. LOL.
I was just using their example. I’ve read that corn prices are high for food corn because farmers began planting more fuel corn. Corn Syrup probably uses more actual corn that people eat.
You’re certainly correct, but it will never go down to a negative number like fuel corn is.
Why this lunacy of alternative energy continues I can’t fathom. The economics are backwards in virtually all cases, yet the band marches on.
Great minds...and all that!

I remember that. Not only did it caused a corn shortage and increased prices in poorer nations in central America. It was not so enviro or mechanical friendly as the greenies told us it would be.
Time, after time, after time we see these emotional green decisions have horrible consequence.
Curly-q light bulbs are filled with mercury, solar panels are to toxic to make in the US (so we are letting the Chinese people be poisoned so we can feel smug and superior.), and I heard today that the making of one electric car battery puts out more CO2 then driving a car for 8 years (...I doubt that really is a problem...) and is too toxic to put in a landfill.
Half our nation is running around calling a circle a square.
And windmills slaughter birds.
Opps! Sorry I missed that one. And the bat slaughter.
As a result bugs are increasing in rural wind farm area and farmers are now using more pesticides that tend to drift onto their neighboring organic crops!!!
Poor Bezos is gonna be selling toxic products!
Lordy. The left has adopted the mind set and emotions of a 13 year old female.

Hogs won’t even sniff at GMO corn!

MOST of the stuff he says is spot on.
