Biofuels leads to global food shortage

Post by dan_s »

"In the face of a global energy crisis, the war in Ukraine, food shortages, and rampant inflation, does it make sense to be redirecting so many acres of valuable cropland to make renewable diesel, a fuel we can easily and directly drill for domestically? Do our policymakers understand the interconnected nature of these markets, and how forcing a strong link between diesel and soybeans creates a tunnel through which the contagion of crisis in one market bleeds directly into the other? … Through either shocking ignorance or callous indifference, they convince themselves they are saving the planet."

What most people don't know is that fossil fuels are very important to the world's food supply.

We are now using too much of our farmland to grow corn for making biofuels. We have to stop it or it will lead to more starvation.
