Comments on: Part Corn, Part Cow. Freaky Ethanol Process Commercialized. http://gas2.org/2008/09/11/part-corn-part-cow-freaky-ethanol-process-commercialized/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

The "no food for fuel" arguement is shortsighted, however warm and fuzzy it may feel. We can continue to use fossil fuels and pollute the environment to the point where Mother Earth retaliates, then our ability to feed the countries that do not practice birth rate restraint will diminish, or disappear altogether. OR...we could develop fuels that alleviate that pollution, provide cash crops for our farmers and create jobs here, which will help keep America strong enough to feed the less fortunate, or in some cases less responsible countries of world. Only the strong and resourceful can feed the weak and resourceless. But the weak and resourceless have an obligation to quit over breeding and reduce the pressure on the available resources. Of course, celluline will change that equation drastically, unless they eat switchgrass in Ethernopia.

But, did you miss the main point with switchgrass and algae biofuels? They don't compete with food production. Also, have you not noticed that even though we waste most of our grain feeding animals for a low return we're still one of the fattest nations in the world (just behind our ally Australia)? But I digress, yay. (btw, you can say GMO and every one knows you still hate GM.) Indeed, yay. But, did you miss the main point with switchgrass and algae biofuels?

I belive that a countries capability of growing crops for producing biofuels should instead be focused on feeding the people of that country and its allies. But If we're gonna go ahead with biofuels then gentically modified crops are definately one positve option, perhaps the best option to take. The only other method would be to create a more efficient process by which the bio fuel is made. Since the latter is quite unlikely for the near future... Yay for GM!! G M!! G M!!
