I take it your education has been somewhat lacking.

<div>
but I guess government so called scientists don't get out much!

<strong>Hi Paul,</strong>

<strong>    Corn to ethanol was promoted as a carbon neu=
tral fuel and, if produced using manure, elbow grease and ox or horse power=
then perhaps it gets close to that. But when it is produced using the inte=
nsive inputs of industrial agriculture then the overall system generates mo=
re carbon emission than use of petrochemicals without ethanol. And the=
subsidized ethanol fuel market resulted in less food corn production, high=
er food prices and hardship for those with a traditional diet high in corn.=

<strong>    And I object to the insinuation that I selec=

100% off base. I judge ideas on merit not origin.</strong>

<strong>    I do however strongly support the value of G=
overnment funded science provided it is entirely free of pressure, especial=
ly political pressure. That resource in needed to keep industry somewhat ho=
nest and to act as an advisory source for government. A large amount i=

<strong>You say =EF=BB=BF corn to alcohol initiative was a disaster!</=
