Kinda like my reply on this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1773981/posts


... when someone asked "Now what exactly are we supposed to be saving by using corn ethanol?" ...

I replied:

"By using corn ethanol for fuel, we increase the price of food products, thereby increasing the price. It will eventually bankrupt us to continue to feed the world. While this ethanol thing gets legs, the environmentalists will attempt to shutter the oil business once and for all through a variety of legislation to make it too restrictive and taxed too heavily. Once we are bankrupt and the oil business has been successfully shut down by the leftist environmentalists, it's back to the stone age for us, which has been the leftist's plan all along. See?"

The law of unintended consequences applies here, but you've really got to wonder if it is really unintended.

I was just at a global warmatology website where one stooge revealed that he is in the process of writing a multi-hundred page report about the oil industry for 5 NE states. Sounded to me like they are going to do lawsuits like they did to tobacco and would like to do to gun makers.
