    Biofuels, the Biggest Scam Going

    Will bioenergy production save American agriculture, end our dependence on oil, save the environment and keep food on everyones table? Perhaps not. Biofuels are not the "cash cow" farmers were promised. As an energy source they are less efficient and no "greener" than oil. Growing them will cause food prices to rise and as a result, the poor will be at an even greater risk of hunger. Rain forests will be destroyed and become cropland, peasants around the world will continue to loose their land, their food sovereignty, all to feed the worlds appetite for fuel.

    Clean green fascism?

    They have competition from the oil sands as the biggest scam going :-/

    And despite these insane developments people still question Peak Oil...

    Oil sands? Coal? Nuclear power? Biofuels? Bah!

    "The New Dawn of Solar" http://www.popsci.com/popsci/flat/bown/2007/green/...

    Oil hit $100 a barrel today. Why? They said it was due to a lower than expected supply. I was listening to this on the news, and the language they use to avoid talking about this being permanent is ridiculous.

    Later I heard people talking about trends to watch in the new year. The news lady actually said that "going green" would be "in" again this year, as if maybe it might not be next year.

    DENIAL!!!! Well, that and a good deal of profit.

    Global warming is a conspiracy theory? For some reason, I've always had the impression that the population on slashdot is sort of mainstream nerds who don't really question the status quo.

    How about a poll of which "Conspiracy theory," has the most merit? Or how about not calling them "conspiracy theories?"
