As hubby said earlier tonight, “We may as well be (pooping) upriver.” This was in reference to the insane corn-based ethanol mandate in this horrible legislation. You don’t burn FOOD for fuel.
We’ve burned food for fuel before. People just have far too short a memory to remember when.
We used to have more acres devoted to “food as fuel” 100 years ago than we have today. And I’ll wager when diesel fuel gets to $15/gal, we’ll see acres planted into the same “food as fuel” crops as 100 years ago again.
