The Case for BioFuels

A great rebuke to all those anti-Biofuel nuts that think food for fuel is hurting people in the long run. I really agree with this part:

Instead of financing terrorism, our energy dollars could be used to fund world development. Instead of selling control of our banks and media to Saudi princes, we could be selling tractors to Africa. Instead of buying arms for our enemies and chains for ourselves, we could be building a world of prosperity and freedom. Instead of paying for death, we could be helping to spread life.

I still hate the idea that whenever you fill up your car it goes into the pocket of a scumbag like Hugo Chavez, spreads Wahhabism, or funds the nuclear aspirations of Iran. If we don't buy what they are selling then we can finally get out of the Middle East game entirely.
