It is full of very ...The green movement is not new. It is full of very naive and idealistic people that are easily manipulated by governments and corporations. Vladimir Lenin called them "useful idiots". All a politician or corporation has to do is create a media scare. release a bogus study and the greenies clime on it like flies on poop. Protests are organized and politicians are given the excuse to push through laws to fix the "problem". If the problem goes awry the politicians can claim they were only acting in the countries best interest. Meanwhile the real people pulling the strings behind the scenes become filthy rich. The greenies think they have saved the world but they have only made life harder for the rest of us.<BR/><BR/>The Ethonol scam should be a warning and a clarion call against an even greater scam of "global warming" or "climate change". The ironic part is the greenies claim the oil companies are behind what they call the "deniers" but don't you think for one minute that the oil companies are not in fact pushing the global warming scam behind the scenes. They are making out like bandits and we are all paying for it big time.<BR/><BR/>This time next year I would say a gallon of gas will be well over $5 per gallon. Once it goes up to $10 our way of life is basically over and the greenies that pushed for it will be just as much in the poor house as the rest of us while the rich will laugh all the way to the bank.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06542479839482425049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-49523962176570809362008-05-07T16:43:00.000-06:002008-05-07T16:43:00.000-06:00While I can appreciate the concept that Bush Deran...While I can appreciate the concept that Bush Derangement Syndrome might have led folks on the Left to turn against ethanol, I don't agree that this means that rabid Bush hatred is a good thing.Scott Hinrichshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831447472339880148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-44000063360339174932008-05-07T09:02:00.000-06:002008-05-07T09:02:00.000-06:00Reach,Y intercept is probably correct.

I hope you agree with me that his idea that hatred of Bush can have a positive effect is a strange idea.<BR/><BR/>R & J,<BR/><BR/>When I came back from Iraq I was so stoked to buy an e85 vehicle. I'm glad I didn't. <BR/><BR/>The issue that is compelling to me right now is natural-gas-powered vehicles. I'm hearing that not only is it cheaper, but that natural gas has more torque for a vehicle than gasoline.Frank Stahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822334061980912687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-3938690110397899582008-05-07T07:43:00.000-06:002008-05-07T07:43:00.000-06:00I'm sorry, I just can't afford to "Save the Planet...I'm sorry, I just can't afford to "Save the Planet". I'm just glad I clicked on the e85 Learn more link on Dodge's website and learned what a scam it was. After all, this Flexfuel is more expensive and has a lower energy content than real gas. Thus spending more money to fuel up and getting lower gas mileage. With solutions like this, who needs problems.Mostly Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035226546186681273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-63079574264210435962008-05-06T20:26:00.000-06:002008-05-06T20:26:00.000-06:00Kevin at y-intercept claims that the Left's love o...Kevin at y-intercept <A HREF="http://blog.yintercept.com/2008/04/real-environmental-improvement.html" REL="nofollow">claims</A> that the Left's love of ethanol would have continued had not their Bush hatred gotten in the way. When GWB also got on the ethanol bandwagon, he says, the Left felt compelled to oppose it.<BR/><BR/>Kevin is a conservationalist. He writes, "If hating Bush gets people to conserve or invest in alternative fuels, then I must concede that the hatred has had a positive effect."Scott Hinrichshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831447472339880148noreply@blogger.com
