With all due respect, it is due to your federal government's insistence that what was formerly food is now to be used as fuel. - even though there are plenty of sources of traditional fuel, and nuclear power available to take off the pressure.

All true. Making ethanol from corn is just welfare for farmers and all electricity should be made from nuclear or coal(I am from Wyoming which has an unlimited supply of coal).

One other factor is that the dollar is being trashed by the government and that is one of the reasons fuel prices and everything else is going up.

And if they want renewable fuels they should grow hemp and turn it into biodiesel. Unlike corn, where you get 1.1 units of energy for every 1 you get back and it is hard to transport because it mixes with water, hemp is 4 to 1 on the energy return and is a weed so it does not required pesticides to grow.

Our politicians, however, are too corrupt to do right by this country.

Actually, it turns out that oil is the best source for renewable energy.

The earth manufactures it, the technology for finding, extracting, refining, distributing and burning it is well-defined and advanced.

For some reason, politically, we just don't want to use it.

Try as I might, I can't understand why, other than there's a bunch of sandal-wearing, bicycle riding, patchouli-breathing FM types that think it is a bad thing for some reason.
