Global food shortage linked to biofuel use

by admin on January 24, 2010


Global food prices have risen because food grains are in short supply. Another strong reason given for this is the shift to biofuel, which are promoted as a green alternative to conventional fuels, like petrol and diesel. The use of food for fuel started when the energy crisis forced the world to look for alternatives. Scientists turned to biofuel for energy solutions.

Something I’m positive of is that the President can’t know that the use of hydrogen by electrolysis has recently been perfected to conclusively produce completely thorough internal combustion engine performance in avarage gasoline and diesel engines using platinized titanium-based hydrogen generators, easily retrofitted to any vehicle with such type of engine. This is the way to turn heads at the Copenhagen summit, with hard science and proven testing by NASA back in the early Seventies.

The reason they highlight this story as a bad thing and do not use the better alternative algae is that they do not want you to use biofuel. They want us to see it as a bad alternative cause if you use it we will all starve. The scare tactic media reporting is a way to keep us where they want us. Being dependant.

Hell yeah, not to mention America wastes 100 billion pounds of food each year. People please, EAT ALL YOUR FOOD. I’m sick of seeing people dining out in restaurants, trying to be all modest and only eating a couple bites and not even taking it home and the rest gets trashed. Waste not!

These days you don’t get as much nutrition from processed food, so you need to eat more. For example I can sometimes eat 2 Big Macs and within an hour I’m hungry again, and I weigh only 75kg. Organic food of the Demeter standard is more nutricious, that’s mostly what I eat now. No, I’m not a vegetarian, I eat meat too, organic meat.

oh, but I forget to mention that there is also algae for fuel, and trans-rice with proteins and vits. xD it’s crazy out there

trans-algae had proteins, vitamins and minerals, fking crazy people that called themself as ambientalist are delaying the world from tecnology,… STOP the ignorance and let’s work together for a better world.

A yuotube video titled “Carbon Based Error” presents an entertaining take on the food for fuel issue.

Given the USA has an obesity-diabetes epidemic a food shortage has a silver lining.

Meanwhile stop using arable land for biofuels – food is more important than driving your obese SUV to the supermarket!

Save oil by increasing public transport, mandating fuel efficient cars, tax petrol more to subsidise public transport and plug-in hybrid conversions.

Oil is essential for agriculture, mining, shipping, air travel. We must stop burning it in obscene large gas-guzzling cars and SUVs.

It would have been nice if the chick wore green instead of black!
