I see. So you respond to my point with a subset of the technology to
refute what I said. Then when I challenge said tactic you reinforce it
by repeating it. Interesting tactic you have there. You might want to
try logic and coherence and see how that would work for you, because
this one, well, not so much.
Now then. Can we start giving money to farmers instead of arabs,
please?

I have to spell it out point by point? You need to refine your broad
support
for "subsidizing biofuels" so that it is not just a subsidy to corn
producers at the expense of the environment and the economy.

I didn't specify corn ethanol, you did.

You made no
distinction as to the type of biofuel, therefore, it was your post that
was
imprecise and promoted bad policy.

Your reading skills are weak. And, your point of view doesn't
acknowledge this wonderful thing called "market forces". If the price
of corn goes up, people like me who have CRP contracts to not grow
things on viable farmland might just decide it's time to go back to
producing, er, you know, more corn.


Even if the corn is FREE it's a bad deal for the environment. Also, even if
you go back to producing corn, the added demand still increases the price of
corn, assuming the available agricultural land is not unlimited.
