IT IS FAR LESS EFFICIENT THAN GASOLINE, REQUIRING THAT YOU BURN MORE OF IT TO GET THE SAME ENERGY. IT TAKES 30% MORE ENERGY TO PRODUCE THAN IT &amp;nbsp;RETURNS, CONSIDERING ALL THE STEPS IT TAKES TO MANUFACTURE. THE DEMAND FOR FOOD TO CONVERT TO FUEL IS CAUSING PEOPLE TO GO HUNGRY. IT IS NOT &amp;quot;RICH CONSUMERS&amp;quot; IN GENERAL WHO ARE DEMANDING IT, BUT RICH IDIOT LIBERAL ECO-FOOLS WHO THINK THEY KNOW BETTER THEN EVERYONE ELSE WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE ECOLOGY. THESE ARE THE SAME IDIOTS WHO GOT THE WORLD TO BAN THE USE OF DDT, &amp;nbsp;CAUSING MILLIONS OF DEATHS IN AFRICA FROM MALARIA. DO WE REALLY WANT THESE MORONS TELLING THE REST OF US HOW TO CONDUCT OUR LIVES?&lt;/p&gt;

We have made a concious decision to use nothing with petroleum in it except to gas up our car. We are downsizing and tightening up our wallets, Everything is coming full circle. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Depression, my Great Grandparents always had food for 12 children, they are gone now but their children and grand children and great grandchildren &amp;nbsp;are all getting together in August and helping Our family pick their crops. We will then can for a couple of weeks and share with each other. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It truly will take a Village to weather what is coming next in our economy. I believe we need to stick together, tighten our wallets, dump the Credit cards and be happy with what we have. Right here and right now. It took the loss of my Mother and Father to realize that nothing is more important than getting it right with family and friends and helping each other. Monsanto needs to take their GMO's and burn them, they are poison to the environment, land, lakes, rivers and our ecosystem. Read the Book the Seeds of Destruction or Google the website. GMO agent Bacillus Thuringensis is in roundup ready food and is chemically and molecularly the same as ANTHRAX. &lt;/p&gt;

Back up your remarks. I have not seen credible science to indicate that humans are not creating a change in the climate. One thing that galls me is we keep crapping in our dishes. Pollution is a real problem. Yes God will have to intervein.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=54348" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Beware -- Food Crisis Getting Worse</title><link>http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/05/08/beware-food-crisis-getting-worse.aspx#54347</link><pubDate>Fri, 09 May 2008 23:41:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:54347</guid><dc:creator>carley44</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I do not think anyone can deny that there is some sort of change in the climate. Here where I live we have had unbelievable storms and wind and much COLDER WEATHER.However, just because there are more storms, floods, heat waves, etc., does not mean &amp;quot;we&amp;quot; are causing it. I used to believe in the whole global warming thing. All the guilt, brainwashing, I am a scumbag for using too much, etc..... &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After many hours of research and reading, I have come to believe that YES there is climate change. Duh! I can see it with my own eyes after living here for over thirty years and noticing the weather. But we are not the cause. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's a scam to collect &amp;quot;carbon taxes&amp;quot; from us and rip us off more to line their coffers and it's also a way for stock traders and big companies to make money by trading and exchanging &amp;quot;carbon credits&amp;quot;! What a beautiful scamsystem, and the American public is guilt tripped into believing that because we produce a lot of CO2 that we are the cause! The damn liberals are no better than the neo-cons. ITS ALL A CON!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ON INFO WARS TODAY THERE WAS AN ARTICLE ABOUT A MAN IN ENGLAND WHO WAS ARRESTED FOR DROPPING AN APPLE CORE ON THE STREET! &amp;nbsp;Do you see how they do this? Now he I am sure must &amp;quot;pay a fine&amp;quot; for not being environmentally cool enough! Good God, what is next? If the public does not get wise to this type of crap, they are going to fleece us blind right into the poor house. In addition they sent round garbage snoops at ten at night with flashlights to look into the cans to see if everyone is re-cycling correctly! This kind of micro mangement control is just the beginning. This is fascisim pure and simple. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DO NOT COMPLY! ROUND UP YOUR NEIGHBORS AND GO DOWN TO CITY HALL AND RAISE HOLY HELL, &amp;nbsp;YOUR SILENCE WILL NOT PROTECT YOU.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;or even triple. &amp;nbsp;Lay your plants down and bury them high up the stem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They put out a bigger root system and therefore get more nutrition into&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the plant and produce more tomatoes.&lt;/p&gt;

I put up enough food to get my family of 5 through the winter. &amp;nbsp;I still believe we have the ability to do something about this situation. &amp;nbsp;I may not be able on my farm to feed the world but I know if I do it right I can feed a larger portion of my community for less than they're paying now and they, in turn are happy to pay me enough to help me keep doing this. &amp;nbsp;I don't have to be rich but I do have to be happy and this life/work albeit very hard does make me very happy. &amp;nbsp;I believe that if more landowners could be convinced to do what I am doing, we would have enough to go around. &amp;nbsp;I do see a level of greed and propaganda that dupes to many folkes into thinking it can't be done. &amp;nbsp;I'm just daring to say, yes it can and the reason I know it can is because I'm living proof. &amp;nbsp;I encourage everyone to quit blaming or looking to govts. &amp;nbsp;Look at themselves, ask what they can do, don't underestimate their capabilities, TRY. &amp;nbsp;Contribute their efforts, small/large.TRY&lt;/p&gt;

Cook</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Monsanto was faced with hundreds maimed or dying from their poisons in the black American South and said, &amp;quot;We must not lose one dollar in sales.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are also high-response seeds to end world hunger--Dr. borlaug's seeds, which did increase yield.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But the lovely one is SONIC BLOOM, an Organic means of increasing yield--and nutritional quality at the same time. Go have fun at www.sonicbloom.com and grow your own food.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;whole foods says they are not meant for people as sophisticated as Dr. Mercola's customers. Their mission is to take teevee Americans and turn THEM into Organic consumers. Our food is supposed to come from Farmers Markets and our backyard organic gardens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sonic Bloom can make LOTS more and healthier Life on Earth--but it ultimately needs to get carbon from somewhere if the biosphere is to increase. &amp;nbsp;Guess what my opinion is of various fuels?!&lt;/p&gt;

What can be done with the waste will determine whether or not major companies take it on. After all, gasoline is not the only thing we get from petrol. Take every car off the road and nearly every other thing we depend on daily is derived from petrol by products.&lt;/p&gt;

As to the comments that climate change is not happening - what planet are you people living on? Do you really think that the vast majority of climate scientists in the world are just making this stuff up? And please, quit referring to a &amp;quot;liberal media&amp;quot; - that's a term that is bogus and not at all factual. It's actually a corporate media. Was the media &amp;quot;liberal&amp;quot; in the run up to the Iraq war? I think not. Those crying &amp;quot;liberal media&amp;quot; sound like a bunch of parrots. Give me a break!&lt;/p&gt;
