Ethanol = Poverty

Leave it to the politicians to embrace the dream that we can grow our fuel.

This one is pretty simple really. If you grow fuel instead of food that means that somewhere, someone is going without food. Pretty soon they are starving.

Our ballooning population depends on massive, industrial agriculture. In a finite system, you can't feed all those people forever but humans never think about the future. And you especially can't feed them if you decide one day that you should fill up your gas tank with corn. Ethanol will prove to be one of the most tremendous crimes against the poor in history.

The age of the automobile is over. Period. Get over it or get blood all over your hands. Fuck ethanol!
