This is what happens when the gubmint mandates burning food crops as fuel - food shortages and high prices.

“This is what happens when the gubmint mandates burning food crops as fuel - food shortages and high prices.”

-

Brazil imports ZERO petroleum. They have freed themselves of dependence on terrorist oil, in less than 2 decades.

100% independence. Mostly with sugar cane. All Brazilian cars run on Alcohol or gas — and demand for gas is so low, Brazil actually sells gas back into international markets as an unwanted output from their refineries.

Brazil manages somehow, to feed Brazilians.

This whole “food or fuel” line is propaganda, nothing more.

We need to stop our dependence on oil.

Alcohol offers an EXCELLENT alternative. We can grow sources of input for alcohol production virtually everywhere in the country. Who will get rich?

AMERICAN FARMERS!!

Corn. Sugar cane. Even a lot of plants which are considered weeds, can be used to generate alcohol right here in America, and every single gallon produced, directly displaces a WILDLY OVERPRICED gallon of gas, which is paid for with dollars which go directly to terrorists and communists.

Heard a pretty interesting show last night on “Coast to Coast”. The guest’s assertion was, that the original Ford Model A was built to run on alcohol, and did so very efficiently. Alcohol has a higher octane than gas, and runs almost infinitely cleaner - with less wear on engines.

Ford was strongly in favor of running autos on alcohol.

Rockefeller, managed with several millions of dollars of lobbying (real money back then), fought back with ... prohibition.

Making the production of alcohol in America. ILLEGAL.

Thereby creating a gasoline monolopoly which continues to this day.

The caller’s assertion rings very true.

We need to move off gasoline as a nation.

Now.
