Get a Grip - Part Two

Now for the second part of this little rant. As if the poor reporting about ethanol by NPR was not enough to keep me lit up all day another report about our friends at Monsanto comes out as well.

Monsanto is in the courts again. This time they are after the dairy industry..» Read blog

Get a Grip - Part One

In the past I have been chided for some of my blogs being “divisive” or “too political”. Well hold on to your hats folks because today I am just flat
pissed off!!!!

I will start with an NPR report I heard earlier this week. The report referenced the state of Texas requesting a waiver from the federal government on the requirement to use ethanol in their fuel..» Read blog

UNEXPLORED CONNECTIONS: Tony Jones

I've spent a lot of time on the road this summer. In fact, my friends and I have put about 10,000 miles on an RV, and we've got about 5,000 more to go. Driving the interstates of this country, it really does become evident how reliant we are on trucking and diesel fuel to fund our way of life..» Read blog

Sarah Steelman's Misleading Ads

More on: ethanol,   Sarah Steelman,   Missouri,   low gas prices  

I used to really respect Sarah Steelman.

I thought her stand against the insurance company hornswoggle known as "tort reform" was a tremendous, courageous stand.

But unfortunately, her latest (and silliest) ad in her grab to be Missouri's next governor has unmasked her as another politician willing to trade sides for no reason at all, other than supporting the sentiment of the moment..» Read blog

Solutions (or, Hug a Farmer)


Problems abound in the world today, much as they always have. Throughout human history we have faced war, famine and disease. Weather patterns have changed and once-vibrant farmlands have been reduced to deserts. Ecological variants have caused the downfall of thriving societies, sometimes due to poor resource management, some times due to the whims of nature..» Read blog

Interdependence

Have you ever read or seen a Sherlock Holmes mystery? I have always loved those stories. I love the way Holmes takes what seems to be the smallest detail and used it to find the culprit. A speck of dirt from someone’s shoe, a bit of tobacco left at the scene of the crime, Holmes always found ways to use those seemingly meaningless clues solve the unsolvable..» Read blog

More on: corn,   use of corn for ethanol,   causes of rise in food prices 

For the past few weeks news sources have talked about the dangerous influence alternative fuels have on our cost of food.

"The recent rise in corn prices -- almost 70 percent in the past six months --caused by the increased demand for ethanol biofuel has come much sooner than many agriculture economists had expected..» Read blog

Disfunctional

More on: Big Oil,   biodiesel,   The Hold Steady 

It will be interesting to see how history views this period of rising energy prices during an era of near-stagnant economic growth.

As I see it, such an event could show people not yet touched by the environmental debate of the huge pull that energy has over our lives, and how we have backed ourselves into the proverbial corner with Big Oil..» Read blog

Over the past year there have been some fascinating conversations about the promise of ethanol. Within that same twelve-month period we have seen many organizations start crying out against the production of ethanol from corn.

Corn-based ethanol in the US has been labeled as a crime against humanity by some..» Read blog

More on: Renewable Fuel Standard,   biodiesel,   ethanol 

As you have read in recent days, we don't think much of ethanol and biodiesel being blamed for the world food crisis. Unfortunately, lots of Members of Congress, with short attention spans and long needs for attention, are now asking for the Renewable Fuel Standard to be curbed..» Read blog

Biodiesel is Not The Problem

More on: biodiesel,   food crisis,   ethanol 

Biodiesel is NOT adding to any food crisis.

Let me repeat that: Biodiesel is NOT adding to any food crisis.

Biodiesel is very different from ethanol, yet both are often lumped together as "biofuels". Their impact is drastically different..» Read blog

Food vs. Fuel

Lets start with the obvious: There are people starving all over the world. They are not starving because the earth cannot produce enough food to feed everyone, at least not yet. They are not starving because corn is being used to make ethanol or soy oil going into biodiesel..» Read blog
