Told you so! When are you gutless, anti-protest motorists going to do
something about the government compelling you to use harmful biofuels?

"Biofuels have forced global food prices up by 75%% - far more than
previously estimated - according to a confidential World Bank report
obtained by the Guardian.

The damning unpublished assessment is based on the most detailed
analysis of the crisis so far, carried out by an internationally-
respected economist at global financial body.

The figure emphatically contradicts the US government's claims that
plant-derived fuels contribute less than 3%% to food-price rises. It
will add to pressure on governments in Washington and across Europe,
which have turned to plant-derived fuels to reduce emissions of
greenhouse gases and reduce their dependence on imported oil..."

"...It will also put pressure on the British government, which is due
to release its own report on the impact of biofuels, the Gallagher
Report. The Guardian has previously reported that the British study
will state that plant fuels have played a "significant" part in
pushing up food prices to record levels. Although it was expected last
week, the report has still not been released..."

The "government" doesn't force any company to produce bio-fuels so what is
the point in getting on their backs?

Can you explain why famers are being told that European grain stores
that should be empty at this time of year are half full? If there's this
huge demand for corn at any price, why is it sitting there in storage
without a buyer?

It seems to me that anything you can use as a fuel is rocketing in price.
Mainly because of cretins like Doug and those that believe/agree with what
he says, along with the politicians desperate for the "green" vote, when in
fact there is not really that much real evidence of any of their theories.

The motorist is to blame, obviously... ;-)

Correct me if I am wrong, I am not a motorist, but isn't ethanol now
added to petrol and any motorist buying petrol is compelled to use it?
If so, why aren't motorists here protesting about this compulsory
greenwash?

As you so frequently are.

Some for of bio-fuel is added to most fuel AIUI.

I asked what would be the point of getting on the government's case about
it. Answer the question please.
