        <description><![CDATA[It is also a food stock for chickens and cattle.  It has been growing in use by those industries as the cost of corn has gone up.  It is also valued as feed because it tends to raise the level of Omega 3 oils in the meats produced.So again we have bio-fuel competing with food production.You should also know that Congressional reps from Montana are behind the push for Camelina being used in both the food and bio-fuel industries to make it a cash crop for the state.PS.  When can I collect on lunch?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Coal gas was a large contributor to their war effort. The problem with coal gas, as pointed out in another blog on here about the US military keeping it as an option, it is very polluting.The Germans did not care about the environment, but the stuff was brutal on engines.They did a lot of work late in the war on biofuels to mix with the coal gas to reduce the carbon fouling of the engines.  By that point they had lost the fertile fields of southern France and the effort was pointless.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[That is on top of the nearly 1 million acres of lost production since 2007.  We have gone from just over 93 million acres of corn planted in 2007 to around 91 million this year.The percentage of the US corn crop going to ethanol is expected to exceed 50% in 2011.  It was around 3% in 2006.  Most of that was waste corn that would have been disposed of as unfit for normal uses.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.smartplanet.com/forum/discussions/1-6444-44737]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[40% of the US corn crop went in to ethanol in 2010 while corn prices doubled.Globally food prices have gone up more than 70% since bio-fuel mandates were put in place in many countries.  The UN points the finger for higher food prices directly at bio-fuel programs.Why in the world would we want to use more bio-fuel?Are you trying to starve the world to drastically reduce global population as many fringe elements here want to do?]]></description>
