Let’s burn food for fuel.
We have too many hungry
people. Some can starve —
economic survival of the fittest.
Turn corn into ethanol.
Push food prices up.
Pay no attention to that
man behind the screen
or all the studies that say
even large-scale production
isn’t cost or energy efficient.
It isn’t lack of oil forcing
us toward biofuel. It’s
too much of it — too much
oil-industry power distracting
us from better batteries,
solar chargers, cheap,
powerful electric cars.
Don’t get me started on
the lack of good mass transit
