Let them eat oil.

Things will be all better when the ice age comes.

There have been voices crying in the wilderness for more than a year now that this sudden surge of interest in ethanol made no sense financially and would result in less food grown.

It’s been a Ponzi scheme from the very beginning and it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Food prices are crazy now and going to get worse.

This also has to do with these corrupt regimes that promote hunger. North Korea and Zimbabwe both had starving citizens before this ethanol craziness hit, and yet this author doesn't blame the corrupt leadership for their part in this mess.

It's also time for Americans to demand a moon landing/manhattan type of project for our energy needs, to get the US to stop kissing the ring of the saudis and crazies like hugo chavez.

Use of orn for vehicles has nothing to do with climate change.

It is wlefare for farmers plain and simple. It is uneconomical pandering of the worst kind, but since the Iowa caucus is so important, it never ends.

This author seems quite myopic in his understanding and pretty much set out with a conclusion and tortured his subject to agree with him.

Stupid drivel worthy of a liberal.

Hey, at least Al Gore seems to be eating well: Ruth’s Chris, Le Cirque 2000 and Delmonico’s is a long way from eating grass, isn’t it?

"The reality is that people are dying already,"

EXCELSIOR!

Thought that was one of the points of the greenies: less people - yes?

Beam me to Planet Gore !

The eco-weenies will say it is just the Malthusian Operator kicking in, and starvation is all for the good of Gaia.

Is the UN now working for big oil?

We pay through the nose for oil. Let them bid the price of corn up a keep it away from the distillers. What they do not tell you is that most countries do not eat that much corn, it is Wheat and rice they consume.

We drive, they starve. The mass diversion of the North American grain harvest into ethanol plants for fuel is reaching its political and moral limits.

What a load of horse hockey. You want to feed the masses? Abolish OPEC and drill in North America. That'll loosen up the grain stocks. Otherwise sit down and STFU Mr. Ambrose Evans-Prissie.

[Anti-Bubba182]

"..The UN says it takes 232kg of corn to fill a 50-litre car tank with ethanol. That is enough to feed a child for a year. Last week, the UN predicted "massacres" unless the biofuel policy is halted..."

Ethanol is a scam!

This article gave me a headache. I can’t deal with all these metric numbers so early in the morning.
