The Many Unintended Consequences of Biofuel Subsidies
April 10th, 2008 by Peter SudermanOver at Reason, I make the argument that biofuel subsidies are making beer — yes, that all important, all-American brew of choice — more expensive. But that’s not all their doing. As this NYT editorial today points out, they’re also making food, which, no matter how much you love beer, is a wee bit more important, more expensive in third-world countries.

For the most part the word “environmental” is now another four letter word used in conversation to indicate great displeasure with do gooders and scam artist. These are the people who have made this politically correct word sound like the word “crap”. The Algore’s of the world are now costing the average consumer a great deal more in daily living cost and our government is going right along with these scam artist because they are so greedy and uncontrolled taht any monies they can garner from sham, fraud and extortion they will gladly accept. Green industry, CFL’s, ethanol is for the most part a real live joke, only the joke is on the taxpayer and the voting public and the Algore’s are laughing at them, all the way to the bank. On the way to the bank, the Algore’s are lining the pockets of the trusted politicians we elect for leadership……….
I realize that there are many who belive a sucker is born every minute but I can also tell you that horse theft is a hanging offense, still.

CFL’s are a “real live joke”?? Yea, I guess the joke was on my electric company when I started to use them and the bill that I had to pay to them went down…
