Turning food into motor fuel borders on the sinful, particularly when we in America are blessed with an abundance of real in-the-ground oil deposits.

For some, especially Midwestern farmers, it's the key to creating clean energy from American soil and sun

What BS - it's a government subsidy, nothing else.

"Creating clean energy" my eye. Follow the money!

DO NOT BURN YOUR FOOD!..................

For others — like many economists — it's a wasteful misuse of resources.

The resources belong to the farmers who grew them, not to the "economists," who are a bunch of ivory-tower pencil-pushers.

I’ve personally turned soy and other beans into methane.

For some, especially Midwestern farmers, it's the key to creating clean energy from American soil and sun milking the US Treasury under cover of yet another lunatic eco-fascist scam.

U.S. oil industry set to break record, upend global trade

[Reverend Wright]

Man bites dog: NPR has found a renewable energy gov’t subsidy that it doesn’t like - because the money goes to farmers in the Midwest that NPR doesn’t like.

On the merits of the issue. I used to believe in the economic argument.

But thinking about national security and the ability to win the next big war - the West will need all the fossil fuel sources it can get.

[Fred Hayek]

The flip side is that the Federal Government has mandated ultra low sulfur diesel. This fuel has much lower top of cylinder lubricity, enough to be a problem. The 2% biodiesel blend is enough to restore the top of cylinder lubrication. This is what I have heard from fleet owners, not the government.

[Darth Gill]

Soy is turning our men into homosexuals and pajama-boys. Soy might as well be used for fuel! Watch this video about SOY

[BuffaloJack]

Soy beans into diesel fuel and corn into ethanol both need to be banned.
Food should be consumed by animals and man, not burned.

[Wonder Warthog]

"Turning food into motor fuel borders on the sinful..."

I get SO tired of hearing this plain wrong notion. Bio-fuels from food crops do NOT reduce the available food supply, they increase it.

Whether it be corn or soybeans, the demand generated for biofuel results in additional crop acreage being planted and harvested over and above that for normal food usage.

Only a part of the whole bean or corn kernel is converted to fuel, the rest is perfectly consumable AS FOOD, either by humans or by livestock.

“Turning food into motor fuel borders on the sinful”

AND...STUPID....corn/ethanol// etc

Have these same nitwits figured out the cost of REWIRING America if even 20% of us ‘turned’ to FULL electric cars..
The present infrastructure re electricity CANNOT carry the load !

[The Great RJ]

How many soybean farmers use bio diesel in their farm machinery? My bet next to none as bio diesel has a tendency to get during cold weather typical during harvest season.

When Cruz began subsidies to stuff like this was an issue. As he continued it dropped out of sight. But if he continued and made it an issue he could have won states like Illinois and Wisconsin .

[Sequoyah101]

Downright stupid, wasteful and corporate welfare.

[combat_boots]

I talked to someone from the USAF who showed me a beaker of fuel made from grass.
