<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Biofuels may speed up, not slow global warming: study]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Jedman http://www.grist.org/article/biofuel/ Wed, 18 Feb 2009 12:39:00 -0800 http://www.grist.org/article/biofuel/1 Biofueling climate change

Thank you for your article.

Perhaps we can declare President Obama's honeymoon officially over and objectively assess planks of his administration's environmental policy:  Support of corn-based ethanol subsidies (1) encourages land to be taken out of conservation use and cultivated for corn, (2) increases food costs for poor people around the world which may encourage radicalization, (3) increases legal challenges to conservation easements, (4) encourages the increased use of GMO cultigens (hey, it's not food, right?), (5) increases feed costs for ranchers, and (6) net increase use in fossil fuels to produce one gallon of ethanol.

Tom Dashielle: sits on the board of 3 Big Ag corporations, from a farm state.  He's been with Obama since Obama's first day in the Senate.  Not a lobbyist, but conflict of interest is undeniable.  Shame we can believe in.

The way forward: encourage your representative and senators to oppose corn ethanol subsidies, and take off the goo-goo-ga-ga glasses for Obama.
