| | | Re: Bio-fuels produce more CO2
I have today had an email from the R.S.P.B. entitled 'Don't put wildlife in your tank' and says,
Dear Friend,
The government plans to put bio fuels in the U.K.'s transport fuel from April, sounds like a good idea right, WRONG, The drive for biofuels is wiping out precious wildlife habits and some biofuels are causing more problems for the climate than they solve.
A deal in Europe to force us to increase the amount we use could make things even worse.
Why wreck our planet while pretending to save it ? It makes no sense.
SPEAK UP before it's too late, and they urge us to contact the Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly to ditch this misguided policy
They have an easy to use online form on their web site to send an email directly to her, you don't have to be a member to use it |

The race to produce Bio-fuels over the past few years, has pushed up grain prices around the world. What with poor harvests, floods & drought, it's forcing up food prices and the poor suffer. Wheat prices globally, have doubled in the last 4yrs, & Rice has risen by 74% in the same time.
More farmers are getting greedy, turning away from food production & servicing the bio-fuel industry. And then there's Palm oil & the destruction of the Indonesian Rainforests. Sadly, bio-fuel is not the way to go unless there is strict global regulations on its production. |

As you say,Earth Hart, some governments would see their people starve to produce bio-fuel.
I will believe it is all going to change when America punishes it people with swingeing petrol taxes and puts a wind turbine atop the empire state

 But sadly I don't see that happening, yet. Though the US Intelligence Assessment http://www.dni.gov/testimonies/20080625_testimonies.pdf may change that. All we can do is pray  Quote:
