Green idiocy, Green racism, Green genocide [Fritzworth]The 'biofuels' scam is one of the great idiocies of our generation. As with most recycling efforts, it is one of those 'green' initiatives that seems worthwhile but just doesn't make economic sense (as even the grand Green Poobah, Al Gore, acknowledged recently). Yet the West pushes ahead, out of the feel-good/redistributionist leftism that wastes money and costs lives. Laura Sullivan over at the European Voice [*] points this out at length, discussing the European Union's continued push to shift to 'renewable fuels' (emphasis mine): Studies by ActionAid and our partners show that biofuels are often more damaging than the fossil fuels they are replacing. The EU's targets require mass land clearance and existing production to be moved. Once this change in land use is taken into account, the projected level of the EU's demand for biofuel in 2020 will result in the release of an extra 27-56 million tonnes of greenhouse gases per year into the atmosphere – equivalent to an extra 12m-26m cars on our roads by 2020. So, in effect, the EU is impoverishing and starving Africans and other third-world peoples in order to feel good about the fuel they put in their tiny little cars, even though it does not help the environment. Looks as though colonialism is alive and well on the Continent. UPDATED: Which is not to say that we don't have idiocies of our own right here in River City, and amongst the Pubs no less: On Wednesday, Chuck Grassley, a Republican senator from Iowa, said in no uncertain terms that the new tax deal will include an extension of those ethanol subsidies. Grassley, who is a ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, made the announcement despite the fact that there is strong opposition to the subsidies from Democrats, Republicans, environmentalists, and trade groups. Fools and buffoons. Fools and buffoons. ..fritz.. [*] I can read the article just fine from my iPad, which is how I got the text. However, trying to get to it from my laptop didn't work, even after I registered. Your mileage may vary. | Recent Comments
