I vote food.

The biofuels wreck your car’s engine. Don’t use them.

Environmentalists ARE behind the movement to reduce the World population are they not? As they are then they have not one single praiseworthy intention in any stated goal they proffer.

Environmentalists have contributed more to the demise of this Nation, and the World than any other entity.

“There is a tendency for environmentalists of our time to think very narrowly about their issues. “

So narrowly that they view a hyperfire as being more environmentally friendly than doing controlled burns to clear out dead wood.
So you end up with sterilized dirt due to the higher temps cause by the hyperfires, and nothing grows.
But it’s “natural” that way.

I'm no fan of the economics of corn ethanol, but I have absolutely no issue with using a substance for fuel that can otherwise be used as food, nor vice versa.

For thousands of years, olive oil lit the night, so what?

What I don’t understand is how this can be considered a dependable form of alternative energy. Any number of weather factors could cause a reduction or destruction of the corn being used for ethanol, and then we are in even worse shape.

Corn is for bread and likker, not ethanol

Strongly agree. The very idea of giving subsidies towards the business of burning foodstuffs as fuel in gas-tanks (when there is plenty of non-edible fuel already) ... it’s a highly perverse incentive with perverse and damaging results to the price of food for human beings who need to eat it.
