I can't help thinking...

Middle East, Asian and African countries want us to freeze by charging $115 per barrel of oil in their monopoly of OPEC.

And the we have the audacity to convert some of our food to fuel so we won't freeze.

And then they have food riots and wonder why food prices are so high and how evil America is...

FUELS VS. FOOD—US ENERGY POLICY HURTING WORLD’S POOR

Should read, Oil—Price’s Hurting World’s Poor !!!!

May-be the oil Sheiks will have to buy this expensive food to keep peace and order in their country’s?

Blame it on liberals who won’t let us drill our own oil. Use it against them with the mantra of the poor suffering children.

Let them eat cake.

sounds to me like the USA is in the catbird seat here.

The EU is doing the same thing.

Not long ago, these countries were on the brink of starvation, but now they're seeing food demand rise ever higher because of years of near double-digit economic growth rates....

A blast from the past, courtesy of Paul Erlich in 1968:

"The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s the world will undergo famines--hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death."

Sounds like the same beat as the anthropogenic global-warming alarmists, doesn't it?

In other words, affluent liberals have condemned the world's poor to perpetual poverty and hunger just to ease their environmental conscience. Which is a very expensive conscience for those who can least afford it.
