the most ridiculous part of this is all one has to do is stop turning corn into ethanol and you get abundance of corn at much much lower prices, saving lots of water

According to Joe Bastardi, the American corn crop is going to be excellent this year.

So , Kruschev was just 90 years ahead of his time.

No, Kruschev was the cold war instrument, who helped bring us the teachers and education system purchased in 1917... when millions were given to Columbia University to take over the US educational materials, and get rid of the McGuffey Readers.

Did you learn in history Kruschev’s famous statement “We will take America without firing a shot!”

I’ve never seen such good looking corn as I have this year, and I ain’t no spring chicken.

It's so darn cold and wet up here the corn is struggling.

I blame Global Warming, myself!

Corn is already selling at or below the cost of production. How will that work out long term?

They'll just have to make it up in volume.

Actually, corn was introduced into the American Midwest from hotter, dryer climates to the southwest, as the spread of pre-Columbian ‘mother corn’ cuture indicates. Milo or sorghum has the same nutrient profile as corn and is happy in hotter, dryer areas.

It’s spelled Khrushchev.

At any rate, about 40% of the US corn crop is now used to make ethanol in order to dilute your gasoline (which gives you higher gasoline prices, lower mileage, and more engine wear). (By comparison, 45% of US corn is used to feed livestock, half of what it used to be, which is why meat prices are rising.) It would be difficult for a minor climatic change to produce a worse result than that!

Ref: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2014/04/20/its-final-corn-ethanol-is-of-no-use/

The moral is that socialism is a much more dangerous threat than minor climate change. Further, the damage from socialism is a certainty, whereas the future of the climate is uncertain.

Would you want the same people who run our government messing with the Earth’s thermostat, even if they really could? These are people who cannot balance a budget.

The damage is real.
A top-down management policy predicated on the concept of “climate change” can easily do this type of damge as well as much more.
Climate change doesn’t actually have to happen in any real form, just that policy base is enough.

We already have too much corn, as proven by market prices.

Spring chickens are doing well also. Still under $2.50/LBS for “roasters” at the local Safeway.

I apologize for spelling error...
I agree about the corn...I do not buy ethanol unless no choice, because it lowers mileage.
No these people have no clue about why we are having the climate issues, most weather comes in cycles anyway.

BTW, do you recall the original reason for using EtOH in fuel back in the hazy, lazy days of Jimmuh? It was to help over come the OPEC embargo by “extending” the available volumes of gasoline.

Now that we have all the gasoline we need (albeit at high prices) and without skipping a beat, EtOH is now said to be an “oxygen” supplement reducing certain tail-pipe pollutants.

EtOH addition isn’t going away and will only increase.
