Ethanol: Ethical, Economic, Environmental Sham
Submitted by CARPE DIEM
Dwindling foreign oil, rising prices at the gas pump and hype from politically well-connected U.S. agribusiness have combined to create a frenzied rush to convert food grains into ethanol fuel. The move is badly conceived and ill advised.
The science is clear: The use of corn and other biofuels to solve our energy problem is an ethically, economically and environmentally unworkable sham.
~David Pimentel, professor of entomology at Cornell University, “Corn Can’t Save Us”
