In reply to Alan M.

Realistically there is so much excess food production capacity in the world, supply shortages don’t cause famine – though, adding cars as a competitor for food would up the cost, which can’t help folks in the 3rd world.

In reply to Alan M. This is a blog, not a journalism site. Blogs, by definition, are the opinions of the author of the blog. Even the space articles Zimmerman cites are reflections of his own opinions. If you want news without opinion, go to a news site.

So here you go again, sir. So biofuels are causing people to go hungry, says the “UN”. Never mind mass drought and crop loss. REALLY! I love how you pick and choose your facts from an article to support your Republican bias. Utterly disgusting. And when did the UN become so competent in your mind. I seem to recall your opinion being quite different when it supported your ideas against manmade global warming. So this is a completely biased blog. Useless. Thanks for nothing. Once again, grow up.

As the old saying goes, “It takes a village, to feed your car.” I.E. kill them to free up the food.

‘Course using biofuels roughly doubles the airpollution per mile….

Never did did get the logic of green fuels.
