Biofuel = Worldwide Hunger And Death

New JV = Biofuel And The Grim Reaper
Biofuel is already killing many, many poor people. So it is not that I am trying to be dramatic. I could not possibly be dramatic enough.
Of the earth's 6.66 billion residents, 4 billion live in poverty, and those at the bottom of that group are already very skinny and without sufficient food to be able to function normally. Many of these poorest people are to be sacrificed in the name of highly questionable alternative energy sources which don’t even help improve the environment. Just a total loss across the boards for everyone but a few politicians and a few corporations The estimates are 10 to 20 million dead in 2008 alone! This is urgent, folks, and all but invisible!
The major cause of death will be weakened immune systems from insufficient nutrition. When I say that some of these people will die indirectly due to biofuel depleting food resources that is what I mean. They are STILL being starved to death. But many others will simply, literally be starved to death.
World leaders attending the recent Progressive Governance Summit in England heard testimony from experts about the growing global food crisis and the destructive impact of turning food into fuel. Former US President Bill Clinton spoke frankly at the meeting, stating that "What's really hurting the food markets is America moving into ethanol. People there are moving into corn and you have pasta riots in Italy related to what some people are doing in farming in America."
Biofuels are a dead end technology that can only lead to more human misery, hunger, and environmental destruction no matter what biofuel crops we grow. Two years ago the price of corn was only $2 bushel, but expanding ethanol production has pushed corn prices up to over $6 a bushel today and since the main thing that we feed poultry and animals is corn… the prices of chicken, eggs, beef and dairy have all gone up as a consequence. Last year, America’s farms sold enough corn, soy and rapeseed for use as biofuel that could have fed 250 million people for an entire year with sufficient caloric intake for them to survive. The World Bank states that staple food prices have increased by an incredible 80% in the 3 year period from 2005 to 2008 and 33 nations now face political instability as a result. In even some wealthier countries like Italy there have been food riots. In Haiti, some of the poor have resorted to eating cookies made of mud! The food riots in Haiti have looked more like revolution than just demand for food.
There is no safe way to make biofuels in sufficient quantity to have any significant positive effect on our economy. Many independent studies from agencies, universities, etc show that ethanol from cellulose (switchgrass, wood chips, crops waste, etc.) will never be cost effective. Some companies, including major oil corporations, have sought to extract biodiesel from algae but they have been trying unsuccessfully with a great waster of money and time and effort for over thirty years now. Making ethanol from corn takes so much natural gas, coal, and oil to produce that it is not energy efficient, and certainly not worth the disastrous environmental and human life destruction it causes.
Respected scientific studies have shown that biofuel production is torture for wildlife and the biosphere, and speeds global warming faster than using ordinary gasoline.
There is so much evidence that biofuel is a disastrous "solution" to the Earth and its inhabitants, that one wonders who promotes it still. Obviously, not anyone with humanity's best interests at heart.
While all of this goes on there are real solutions coming forward but these are all at the grassroots level. Water4Gas is one of the best.
WATER4GAS is offering information for a nominal fee which folks can use at home to build a small device which instills hydrogen into the gasoline/air mixture that their car runs on.
The process makes bite sized particles out of the ones that the engine burns as fuel. Therefore the system is able to use a lot more of the gasoline.
By doing this you can reasonably expect to reduce your fuel usage by 30-50% or significantly more. With WATER4GAS gasoline is made consumable so you can reduce your fuel usage.
It also helps make emissions substantially cleaner.
This package of info has been purchased by over NINE THOUSAND people already and the percentage of happy customers is about 99%! So how about you?
