Bio-Fuels: Stupid and Expensive Idea

SEE HERE It's really quite beyond me where some of these brain dead ideas come from. Taking perfectly good arable land suitable for growing food, indeed actually growing corn, and using the edible produce to make bad fuel (alcohol has a much lower energy density than gasoline and it does more engine damage) that is also way more expensive than the gasoline is just crazy, that's right Crazy, like in insane.

Sure we'll run out of gasoline and coal sometime or the other. Maybe we should invest in improving nuclear technology. It's currently driving around all our submarines and aircraft carriers and is supplying most of France's electrical needs. But taking perfectly good food and making it into really expensive energy inefficient fuel is , well I said it already, crazy. Who thinks up these things? Oh yeah, gubment! in conjunction with big business. Hudge and Gudge as Chesterton would have it. Time to stop and smell the roses and start investing in things that make sense, like letting people keep their money and the market decide what's worth spending money on instead of government.
