  • Minor point: Who grows the corn

    David Philpot wrote in part, "...Corn is already heavily subsidized and grown by some of the worst actors in the corporate world..." No corporation would ever grow corn; the economics are too rotten."

    Huh!  Ever hear of ADM or Cargil to name just two major agribusiness conglomerates?  Where did you get the notion that corn production isn't subsidized?  On Hint: he's from Alabama posted 3 years, 9 months ago 34 Responses

  • SOTU: Who's behind 'switchgrass'?

    It appears, please help me if I misunderstand, that you folks are going to take the opposite position from the Bush Administration no matter what.  When GWB supports oil exploration and production; you respond that biomass is the answer.  When he supports reseaarch to help make biomass viable, you criticize his motives and methods.  As he said in the SOTU this week, "Second guessing is not a strategy."

  • No talk, no action

    You pointed out by inference that the Clinton Administration, prior to the Bush 43 Administration, saw no good reason for the United States to participate in the Kyoto protocol.

    The Wall Street Journal ran an interesting story on Jnuary 19, 2006 addressing this issue in some detail entitled "Kyoto's Big Con."  I commend it to you.
