re: #31 Bubblehead II

While the rhetoric is over the top he is right in that by diverting corn from feeding people/animals to the biofuel industry, the end result is an increase in price and availability of corn/meat to those with little or no income.

Which is exactly why biofuel research should focus on converting inedible waste products instead. And not just agricultural waste - back in the 90s, I read a column from a university newspaper where the writer joked about how great it would be if cars were fueled by urine - “imagine, your drunk buddies all helping you fill up! And Esso could instead be called Pisso…”

Well guess what? Urine turned into hydrogen fuel

Problems of too few resources, too much garbage? - turning waste into fuel is a process that solves both. I hope there are at least some large, powerful corporations looking into it so it can actually get done.
