We've been deficit spending for most of this war, is that news to Jim Cooper? Was that 2007 appropriation he voted for not deficit spending somehow?

Be careful in lumping all biofuels together. While corn-based ethanol is a government scam, other measures may not be. Biodiesel can be made from waste vegetable oil, which while not a solution for the masses, is a viable niche market. For larger scale, algae-based biodiesel uses sunlight as the only input and does not impact the food supply.

Mike Adams has some kind (preliminary) words for this source as well. From your link:

The only truly promising biofuels technology available today is based on microalgae. Feed CO2 to a vat of algae, and you can produce biofuels cheaply and responsibly, without destroying the environment. But these programs are only in experimental phases. Nobody is producing biofuels on a large scale from algae farms (not yet, anyway).


Now can we get this in our next energy bill?
