Where once monkeys ran howling through the trees and countless birds filled the morning and evening hours with raucous song, now there is just silence. The deadly silence of the stripped and plowed and bleeding bare earth Corporate plantations. The Maya Nut Foundation, which does self-sufficiency outreach programs with the poorest of the poor in Central America, reports that biofuel palm oil plantations are spreading like a disease, wiping out livelihoods and forcing families into jobless urban gulags to starve. Across Sumatra, endangered species programs report massive animal migrations to flee the encroaching GMO biofuels plantations, wiping out the last reserves of countless jungle plant species biota and human food cultivars, as the sky is blackened with choking smoke so dense, it reaches clear to Singapore!

Across Africa, Corporate GMO Biofuels plantations have bought up millions of hectares of fertile ground, in some cases 40% of an entire African nation have been leased out, and the millions of natives living on those lands pushed to the periphery, to the deserts and the badlands, to starve, so that US Corporate farmers and Defense research labs and foundations, can have their millionaire rice bowls and their fat pensions for life. Today Americans are FORCED to burn nearly 50% of their human food grains at the Altar of AGW Biofuels. FIFTY PERCENT!! No other nation in human history burned half of its food and survived. This has spiked human food grain prices around the globe through deliberate destruction of food for biofuels tax credits, and due to massive speculation by all the hot money generated from the Fed Bank Bailouts.

4.1.1 H.R.230 – 21st Century Energy Independence Act of 2011
4.1.2 H.R.404 – Renewable Fuels for America’s Future Act of 2011
4.2.2 S.187 – Biofuels Market Expansion Act of 2011

They all sound patriotic, don’t they. Hopeful. Change You Can Believe In. In fact, we already produce and import more biofuels than we can possibly use! US auto manufacturers and fuel blenders have complained that we are being forced to mix more ethanol into our fuel than vehicle fuel systems can tolerate! Yet the US Biofuels Initiative MANDATE employs a built-in ramp-up schedule that will DOUBLE mandatory mixing by 2018, making every US vehicle built before 2000 obsolete, and wiping out virtually TWO-THIRDS of US agricultural grain production, as well and starving BILLIONS of 3W peoples through higher food and fuel prices.

What do you think the riots are all about!? Because they want to ‘be like US’? HA!
We are STARVING the planet and DEFORESTING the globe with Biofuels. And the ultimate joke, the true sardonic humor: at the end of the day, biofuels require at the least 0.9:1.0 or even 1.0:1.0 use of FOSSIL FUELS in terms of tractor fuel, truck transportation, fertilizers, processing plant distillation and distribution than the energy capacity of those biofuels!! And E-85 biofuel blends have WORSE GAS MILEAGE. Then by any simple mathematics BIOFUELS ARE INCREASING OUR RELIANCE ON FOSSIL FUELS AS THEY DEFOREST THE PLANET!!

So when US SecState Kerry claims that ‘Climate Change’ is the ‘Real Weapon of Mass Destruction, in fact it’s the US Biofuels Initiative MANDATE that will end all life on Earth, and every year, that MANDATE is GROWING like a PANDEMIC DISEASE.

What is that shot – what is the expected success rate?
When would this parity occur?
With what confidence interval?

I have very mixed feelings about Biofuel – the only one I’m particularly in favor of is Algae to fuel. Other, technology centered advancements will make many of these programs obsolete before they become commercially viable, but on the other hand, there’s no telling what the information gained in the research will be worth… So again, mixed feelings.

“That pattern is being repeated elsewhere in the U.S., for example in New York State where shrub willow is being developed as a cash crop for farmers to grow on marginal land.”

I sure hope they cut out these subsidies. Might as well burn money in the ships. It will create more jobs. Eventually it may come out cost effective just like biofuel may as you say become cost effective.

Renewable energy is being tarnished with boondoggles like biofuel.
