Environmentalists Against Enviromoonbattery
The international biofuels boondoggle is so pointless, corrupt, counterproductive and moronic, even environmentalists are disgusted by it:
Prominent environmentalists around the world are preparing to battle global warming alarmists at a United Nations conference on climate change taking place in Bali, Indonesia on December 3 to December 12. […]
Opponents of biofuels read like a Who's Who of environmental activist groups. The Worldwatch Institute, World Conservation Union, and the global charity Oxfam warn that by directing food staples to the production of transport fuels, biofuels policy is leading to the starvation and further impoverishment of the world's poor.
Good thing anthropogenic global warming is a hoax; if it were real, biofuels would be making it worse, by destroying rainforest and peat bogs for the sake of palm oil production. Warns James M. Taylor of The Heartland Institute:
Some of the world's most effective carbon sinks are being destroyed and long-stored carbon is now being released into the atmosphere in massive quantities, merely to make wealthy Westerners feel like they are "doing something" to address global warming. The reality is, they are making things worse.
That's what bureaucrats are there for — which is why the EU, the UN and the Bush Administration will continue to ram biofuels down our throats, at the expense of the planet and everyone living on it.

The cheaper your fuel source, the more expensive your fuel will be. Look out water!

What a boondoggle

Water IS an expensive fuel source... If it's used to get the hydrogen for fuel cells. Tons of energy to break up the water molecules by electrolysis, tiny pop of energy from burning the hydrogen.
But hey, it releases water vapour, not CO2 - a stronger greenhouse gas, but not one that Al Goracle disapproves of!
