It is distressing that Barack Obama is still talking about "alternative fuels" after all of the global suffering that biofuel production has created. If you look at United Nations malnutrition statistics, and factor in the massive increases in grain prices that biofuel production has created, then any reasonable person must conclude that biofuels are the major cause of at least 2 million avoidable deaths due to malnutrition and related illness in the last twelve months, and a significant contributing factor in the deaths of between 10 to 20 million people in the past 12 months. By the time the biofuel hoax has run its full course, it will certainly have killed millions more than the number of Jews killed by Adolf Hitler during the 1940s. So where is the accountability for these deaths in the Obama camp? Why hasnÎéÎ÷t Barack Obama publicly renounced and denounced biofuel production and asked the world to forgive him for his support for this planetary disaster? Planting switchgrass (starvation weeds) for ethanol production will be as destructive as using corn, as it will use land, water, fertilizer, machinery, and labor that is needed to feed the world. Switchgrass ethanol manufacture will also unleash much more CO2 into the atmosphere than using ordinary gasoline made from imported oil. Globally, biofuel farmers have destroyed more acres of precious rainforests in the past three years than were destroyed in the 20 years before biofuel production began. If Barack Obama blocks needed oil exploration on American soil while continuing to promote the global crime of biofuels, then he will be a one term president who will be remembered for starving millions while actually speeding global warming and the desertification of planet earth. Biofuels are a dead end technology born of greed and dirty politics, not legitimate science. Please remember that Mao Tse-tung and Pol Pot killed the most people through well meaning but foolish agricultural policies, not through executions. Barack Obama has created a global famine in order to win votes in Iowa. If you get both food and fuel policies dead wrong you will destroy the nation, and that is what Barack Obama is going to do unless he stops thinking politically and starts thinking scientifically. It is everyone's moral obligation to explain to Barack Obama all the terrible harm he has done, and urge him to reverse course immediately.
