biofuel crisis

You would be forgiven if you thought that in these present times when world economies are slowing down due to a major banking crisis coupled with steeply rising energy and food prices that when a solution to a part of that problem is available the powers that be would support and promote it to ease the everyday burdens that now exist for us all.

For example there is a system which enables motorists to increase the fuel economy of their cars (or any vehicle) while literally steam cleaning the inside of their engines and hugely lowering carbon gas emissions to help save the environment and on top of all that leaves more of our hard earned cash where it belongs, in our pockets, thus easing the ever increasing higher daily costs of living; its called water to gas fuel conversion.

Instead of supporting the above system, governments including America and Brazil are pumping Billions into the production of ethanol,a so called wonder biofuel, (when Americans get it wrong they really do get it wrong.)

Consider this, even the President of the World Bank stated there could be a global disaster if the west continued to replace food crops with the crops for the creation of biofuels. He also stated that as a result of the doubling in the price of food over the last 3 years that this could result in 100 million people in the poor developing countries being pushed further into poverty.

How bad is the situation? The UK Guardian newspaper recently reported that in less than a year the price of wheat had risen 130%, soya by 87%, and rice by 74%, added to that is the U.N report that there are only 8-12 weeks of cereal stocks in the world, while supplies are at their lowest since the 1980 decade.

When you also take into consideration that a factory producing ethanol at the rate of 50 million gallons p.a. requires 500 gallons of water a minute, water that in some areas is a very precious commodity, you begin to realise what an all round disaster this production of biofuels from crops is.How much longer will they persist with this life threatening policy?

So why, why, why are governments not helping us utilize the water to fuel gas system for lowering fuel consumption, reducing carbon gas emissions to safeguard our environment and easing our financial burdens to make life that little bit easier?

Poll about global warming.?

With all the debate surrounding the global warming issue, science is in agreement on one major point - we humans are the main source of the problem.

They have also stated that even moreso than our automobiles and aerosol cans, the biggest contributor to the environmental crisis is from our digestive process! That's right. We convert food into biofuel for our bodies, and the resultant solid waste product throws contributes much to the chemical imbalance in our environment that is thought to be behind global warming.

In short, eat more = crap more = earth dies sooner.

That said, shouldn't the Federal Government mandate fat people start eating less?

You laugh now, but little do you realize that a tax on fat people is actually making it's way through the Senate as we type. Airlines are pushing for it, the heath food stores love it, and even McDonald's is getting on the bandwagon as the profit margin on salads is much higher than the margin on Big Macs.

It is only a matter of time before the hype surrounding global warming is directly attributed to fat people. There are many Kool-Aid drinkers now that are saying that we need laws in this country to limit family size. When that fails it will be but a short leap to say; "Well, if we cannot kill of all the people we don't want, we can at least target the overweight ones."

The truth is stranger than fiction.

The Biofuel Delusion $79.95 Faced with the twin threats of peak oil and climate change, many governments have turned for an answer to the apparent panacea of biofuels. Yet, increasingly, the progressive implementation of this solution demonstrates that the promise of biofuels as a replacement to fossil fuels is in fact a mirage that, if followed, risks leaving us short of power, short of food and doing as much damage to the climate as ever -- let alone the consequent impact on biodiversity due to additional loss of habitat for agricultural production and on rural development due to the additional stress on traditional farming systems. Worse still, these risks are being ignored.In this definitive exposé, Mario Giampietro and Kozo Mayumi present a theoretical framework and exhaustive evidence for the case against large scale biofuel production from agricultural crops. This book will be vital, sobering reading for anyone concerned with energy or agricultural policy, or bioenergy as a complex system.

Global Food Crisis $25.53 Currently, a billion undernourished people experience hunger on a regular basis. Global food production will have to rise 70 per cent by 2050 as the world population expands to 9.1 billion from 6.8 billion people. Recent global food prices have been the highest on record, exceeding 2008 levels that sparked deadly riots across the world. Causal factors include population growth, climate change and weather-related crop problems, diminishing water supplies, oil prices and diversion of food crops to biofuel production, damaging farming practices, and land shortages. Is an ongoing world food crisis inevitable? What is Australia's role in global food security and how are we managing our own domestic food challenges in relation to environmental sustainability, rising food prices and declining productivity? Two chapters: Global hunger and food supply ; Australia's food security. Also includes: Worksheets and activities ; Fast facts ; Glossary ; Web links ; Index.

Biofuel Support Policies $42 Governments in many OECD countries, as well as in a number of countries outside the OECD area, actively promote the production and use of alternative transport fuels made from agricultural commodities. This report, jointly produced by the OECD and the IEA and drawing on information from a number of other organisations, analyses the implications of this support from various perspectives. The report shows that the high level of policy support contributes little to reduced greenhouse-gas emissions and other policy objectives, while it adds to a range of factors that raise international prices for food commodities. It concludes that there are alternatives to current support policies for biofuels that would more effectively allow governments to achieve their objectives.
