Great tune

I wonder what prompted him to write that.

Link update, and a new song

I just learned that the song-writer of "Subsidized Ethanol Blues", Jeff Parnell, is now running for the U.S. Congress, in Missouri's 4th Congressional District. (This posting is not a political endorsement, by the way.)

He has a new web site, but forgot to include the aforementioned song. However, there is still a link to the song here, available through a web site maintained by Missouri Citizens Against Ethanol.

Meanwhile, somebody else has written an anti-ethanol song and put it to a raggae beat. Listen to it by clicking here.

Irie reggae, mon'!

These are only my personal opinions.

Hey mon'!

I got the buck a gallon subsidized biodiesel blues...

The new song is about biofuels, not just ethanol. This is new. Most of us enviro types have felt safe bashing corn ethanol because it represented big ag. Although there were some major debates with some ethanol enthusiasts. Few would touch biodiesel because it had developed such a huge cult following and who needs to draw friendly fire when there's enough of the unfriendly kind? The original idea that it would be homegrown on spare land didn't pan out. This is finally starting to sink in.

Even waste biodiesel

Biodiesel from waste cooking grease is not carbon neutral either. Think about it. That waste grease ought to go into a biodigestor and be converted into fertilizer to feed as much of the carbon as possible in the grease back into the soil. Just like all food waste should be.

Burning the grease adds carbon to the atmosphere that biomass extracted in the real, natural carbon cycle.

Renewable electric fuel is the only carbon neutral fuel.
