  Enviro-SCAMS

  MORE ENVIRO-SCAMS:

  The corn ethanol scam,

  North American agribusinesses grow massive amounts of corn, based not on any sane economic rationale but on subsidies they extort from governments. Much of that corn is turned into cheap sweeteners, which make their way into the food system and explain much of the North American obesity epidemic. Since there is still too much corn left, they came up with the ethanol scam:
  ". . . researchers at Cornell University and the University of California-Berkeley say it takes 29 percent more fossil energy to turn corn into ethanol than the amount of fuel the process produces. For switch grass, a warm weather perennial grass found in the Great Plains and eastern North America United States, it takes 45 percent more energy and for wood, 57 percent.

  It takes 27 percent more energy to turn soybeans into biodiesel fuel and more than double the energy produced is needed to do the same to sunflower plants, the study found.

  'Ethanol production in the United States does not benefit the nation's energy security, its agriculture, the economy, or the environment,' according to the study by Cornell's David Pimentel and Berkeley's Tad Patzek. They conclude the country would be better off investing in solar, wind and hydrogen energy."

  There is even a neocon aspect to this (note the name Frank Gaffney), the thinking being that use of ethanol will reduce dependence on Middle Eastern oil and thus remove any political influence that Muslim countries might have on American foreign policy in the Middle East. Fuel from corn is a neocon/agribusiness fraud, and just encourages the agricultural subsidies that are the real reason for much third-world poverty. There is still the possibility that fuel can eventually be produced economically from straw and agricultural waste (cellulose ethanol, the energy for which comes from the plant waste itself), but the research has not yet been done.

  Hummers

  
  Hummers:

  A vehicle for the arrogant rich.

  Hummers are a in-your-face statement to the "average" man, from the rich man.  That is the single biggest reason for purchasing one.

  Hummers are all about Man's lust for power, status and the ego.

  Trees & People

  
  Trees come and go

  Trees are a renewable resource

  Wood stoves keep people warm at night

  People pass away, while young trees grow big and strong

  People worry about trees, that will shade their headstones

  People worry about trees, while some families  break up, because they cannot afford all of the taxation,......... and housing costs due to timber regulations,.... and government regulations built into housing costs......The people do languish with sullen faces.

  Poor people live in concrete and mortar warehouses (government projects).  Concrete concentration camps are the homes of the poor, so that we spare the trees

  Hopeless youth, hopeless Black youth, living in the brick jungle, in order that we save the trees

  Spare the whales, trees and seals.......Let the people live in government brick jungles.

  Enviro-Fascism

  
  Enviro-Fascists,

  When you stop heating your homes, driving your European cars, and burning fuel flying to Europe, then you will have attained credibility.

  Until that time comes, when Enviros stop burning fuels to survive, you'll continue to be transparent hypocrites.

  Thank you,
  Captain America
