Beam me to Planet Gore !
The senator is a true conservative on many things.
All falling on deaf ears, of course.
Wonder how much oil is exported that could be stopped so that the demands of our own people would be met without raising prices?
And will someone please tell me WHY we don’t have 40 or more NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS under construction in this country RIGHT NOW and 50 more being permitted on the fast track??
Thank you Sierra Club, Greenpeace and the rest of the econazis!
I love him. He’s the one senator I hope never retires.
Inhofe is right on Global Warming and way off the beam on this one.
It's more than just corn and what people don't realize is that you can't really kick up productivity, an increase in product “X” so it can be fermented as fuel is a zero sum game with other crops, such as most wheat used in foods...... The corn mess has affected us several times over and it should go down in history books of what results government meddling in free economic systems driven by supply and demand causes. You have Biodiesel with over 6 million tons of output three years ago and rapidly growing. That's the actual fuel amount, now consider how much was required to get to that, and how many millions of acres of land that is that's burning in some “green” car! While Brazil produces 422 million tons of sugar cane (also fields that could grow something else), most being processed to fuel (A great idea by the gumbermint), our great and fearless leaders with their omniscient and omnipotent visionaries look there and want to emulate stupidity. "Look, they're a country burning their food, maybe we too can do that!" It fits into the regenerative, bio, get off our "addiction to oil" agenda. When a government “sticks” their nose into things and meddles, seldom is the outcome good. There is no doubt about it, nationally as well as internationally, the massive push for bio fuels (largely subsidized and mandated by laws in all these places from the US to Germany or Brazil) has opened up a large problems elsewhere, rising food prices. But maybe we can blame some other boogieman, since green = good.
Radically changing the rules of the game after spring planting might have even worse consequences than what is already anticipated, given the high cost of inputs such as fuel and fertilizer. So, I’d suggest being very careful with anything “dramatic” right now.
