IT ALL HINGES ON OIL
I often hear the mantra that "America uses 25% of the worlds oil and has only 2% of the worlds population". This is true but the formula is incomplete. America produces 40% of the worlds grain and suprisingly is still the worlds leading manufacturer of durable goods. China is rapidly catching up. Americas vast breadbasket in the midwest feeds billions in the developing world,is heavily subsidized by the American taxpayer and is completely dependent on cheap petroleum. This is why we should oppose this stupid bio-fuel. It is a net energy loser and creates massive soil erosion. Row crops like corn require vast amounts of nitrogen fertilizer which is made from natural gas. This fertilizer leaches into the rivers causing mass destruction of the oceans. The amazon rain forest is being cut down at twice the rate it was because of high corn prices. We are spending billions of tax dollars to destroy the environment world wide and in the end it will cause starvation on an apocalyptic scale.
