When science fails

In the news today: How biofuels may not be such a good idea after all.

I can't tell you how disappointing this is. How stupid was I to think that we could trust today's scientists to come up with a solution to the world fuel crisis and global warming? The more you hear, the more incompetent they seem. Apparently, the worst offender is fuel made from American corn, which is responsible for releasing 20% MORE CO2 into the atmosphere than regular fuel made from crude oil! How pointless is that?

But naturally, there's more money in biofuel than there is in selling corn to - you know - FEED people, so we're making the world hotter and hungrier at the same time. Great solution guys.

I don't know where the world is going to Digger.
All I do know is that Food can't compete with Money.
The poor buggers who are waking up this morning with groaning stomachs won't have the energy to think yet alone cry.
I blame us all...

When are these 'tards' going to stop being afraid of hemp and start using this as a substitute. It not only leave more nutrients in the soil as it started but can be used for almost anything else. I just read today that Lotus is going to start using this for replacing some plastic parts in their new model.
Corn is for suckas!
