Most recent on Biofuels

The International Tribune has a very well written article on the environmental costs of biofuels. I important additional fact not often talked about is how subsidizing the production of these fuels will increase the supply of fuel in general, driving down it's price and thereby encouraging consumption. This fact only compounds the issues discussed in the article. Corn ethanol, the worst offender of all biofuel types, exists only to enrich corn producers. This and the negative affects on our diets from cheep corn is further proof that we need to stop encouraging consumption by subsidizing politically favored producers.
