1. imagine the rise in greenies spirits as the sacrifices of the population to employ land and labor to benefit the earth..
   jut like the noble savages of long ago when they sacrificed(others) to appease the earth/weather gods…
   and for the same non effect..

2. Making biofuels from food producing acres was a “green” dream a number of years ago, which has now turned into a monster that harms engines, and helps create food shortages in certain areas. Now the greenies seem to be opposed to this form of fuel production, however my opinion is they are not concerned about the starving people as they believe in overpopulation and that there are 6 billion too many people on earth.

3. I think it’s time we quit engaging the eco movement on their level. Every discussion turns to panda’s and polar bears. How do you fight cuddly with the LIV?
   Lets call a spade a spade and get back to the actual fight.
   The enviros are simply another communist front battling the west and the free market.
   It’s time we framed the battle in it’s actual context.

4. You can’t fight these people unless you understand them.
   The environment isn’t going anywhere, it has survived 99% of all species who have lived and will ultimately shake us and our “effects” off too.
   Don’t be fooled, the vast majority of enviromaniacs don’t give a sh*t about the planet, it’s all about clean water, air and consciences for themselves.

5. It’s a lot more than just big green lobbies. In the Telegraph article, Al Gore himself admits it. It’s payola for the farm vote.

6. Oh, so that’s why Gore, Clintons, Gates, Weinstiens, Soros and Buffet bought that 800 Million acres of corn fields in Brazil.

7. Stealing from the many, to enrich the few.
   Kleptocracy; A natural progression of unchecked government.
   Legalized extortion, damage to wealth producers,injury to the poor and insult to all rational people.Why people believe government can run any operation, is beyond me, do the believers never visit government offices?
   The motor vehicle office should be enough for most.
   But for the anti-humanist phoney- eco concern parasites, starving large numbers of poor brown people, imposing their will upon countless taxpayers and screwing up the local ecology; this is gold.
   Makes these impotent fools feel important, like the fat kid from south park, respect my authority,the pack mentality of the green shirt thieves..
   I wonder if they can comprehend backlash?
   Or will they be calling themselves “victims” when the consequences come home?

8. Today must be broken clock day – Phil said something most conservatives would agree with. Although you should be careful about generalizing.

9. US State level ag admins have been sucking this teat since 2000. It’s the standard process for syphoning pork out Washington. As I have said before, these groups never had any intention to make the bio-fuel business work. They exist for the purpose of drawing subsidies.
   You can bet that when the subsidies for the fuel stop the same groups will be demanding compensation for “losses”.
   It is not the farmers causing the problem … it is politicians and parasitic lobbyists.

10. It may not be the farmers causing the problem OMMAG, but most around me with windmills and giant mirrors also sprout Liberal signs during election periods. Generalization yes, but Phil does stumble into facts occasionally.

11. Yahoos like Harper and Wall keep the theft/transfer of other peoples money flowing to welfare bums because it buys votes in farm country.
    Speaking of money flowing to welfare bums, no doubt Phil will also blame farmers for paying most of the taxes that educated Phil and his git into believing in this AGW rot.
    The socialist’s failed plans are never their fault.

12. Thats Mr Robertson to you Phil.
    On your obsession with farmers being subsidized, have you ever considered, if the government was not stealing the money from farmers in the first place, they would not feel obliged to dribble some back.
    As the rewards of farming have steadily diminished, mostly through the various taxes, how do you propose to have people grow our food?
    I resent all welfare, far better if government theft is reduced, if farmers are essential, then do not tax(extort) them.
    Remember govt taxes behaviour it wishes to discourage.

13. Most conservatives hate all subsidies. We vote for a party that supports the subsidies because the others would do more and worse. Phil you are a liar. Provide a link to a post where anyone defended subsidies.

14. You might remember that the Navy recently signed a fuel contract with Dynamic Fuels, a joint venture of Tyson and Syntroleum (NAS: SYNM) , which subcontracted a large amount of the production out to Solazyme (NAS: SZYM) .
    The contract was worth $12 million for 450,000 gallons worth of biofuel. Basic math tells you how lousy the Navy is at basic math: Every gallon will cost it $26.67, or $1,120 per barrel’s worth. Even if costs are ever reduced to reasonable levels, which is doubtful, biofuel production demands vast swaths of arable land to produce any meaningful quantities.

15. Ha ha ha – don’t blame the Conservatives for pushing biofuels or any other of the things that
    make up the Green Scam. It’s owned by liberals, Liberals, and lefties of all species. It IS
    typical of those species to lie their way out of their misdeeds by blaming the consequences
    on conservatives. Just look at the Democrats down South blaming Republicans for the KKK –
    the KKK, otherwise known as the armed wing of the Democrat party.
    I do wish that I had followed Nessim Taleb’s advice about the proper treatment for suckers a
    few years ago, and put some money into a Green company – wind turbines, biofuels, whatever.
    But the Bakken in Sask is more honest, and will likely be more lucrative in the long run.

16. Say Phil, did you bother to look up Kleptocracy?
    Your suggestion, silence is tacit approval, so you approve of pedophiles, mass murder,poisoning wine?
    Can you produce any evidence of ever criticizing said behaviours?
    Classic libtard mistake confusing silence with agreement, which is why your type are so hurt when people finally lose patience with fools, interfering in their lives and stealing from them.

17. “…Let’s not forget that part of the rationale for biofuels was to create an artificial market for freeloading farmers…”
    Once again, I hate to agree with Phil, but he’s absolutely right on this. In Ontario (and in a hell of a lot of other states and provinces)the ‘green energy’ initiatives were designed for one purpose: getting the farm (rural) vote.
    Even today, Tiger Tim Hudak says he’s going to scrap McDinky’s Green Energy Act, but he promises to introduce his own Mandatory “bio content in diesel” Program.
    He’s doing it for one reason: to suck around for the farm vote.

18. Your words, your criteria, comrade.
    Parasites often make the error of confusing silence with approval.

19. Japanese war planners utilized every possible means to convert available resources into fuel substitutes. The Japanese manufactured alcohol from confiscated food supplies such as potatoes, sugar, and rice, thus forcing a direct competition between human stomachs and mechanical gas tanks. But alcohol has an energy content of about 65,000 Btu per gallon, whereas aviation gasoline delivers about 130,000 Btu per gallon. So on the best of days, Japanese aircraft took off with half the energy equivalent of their American counterparts in their fuel tanks. And aerial combat proved the disparity, with American aircraft utterly dominating the skies.
    People in Japan were forced to tighten their belts even more when large amounts of garden vegetables began to be used for manufacturing lubricating oils. And even old rubber products such as tires and rain slickers were “distilled” to recover whatever oil could be had. But it was not enough.
    By late 1944, the Japanese navy commenced a project to manufacture aviation fuel from pine tree roots. “Two hundred pine roots will keep an airplane in the sky for one hour,” said a Navy spokesman. The Japanese navy distributed over 36,000 kettles and stills, in which countless pine tree roots met their fate. Many a hillside of Japan was utterly denuded of trees. But each kettle or still could produce only about 4 gallons of raw product, and even that required significant treatment to upgrade to anything approaching usable fuel. Compounding the problem, each still required its own fuel supply, and this exacerbated an already severe fuel shortage in Japan. By one estimate, 400,000 Japanese worked full-time in order to support a dispersed, inefficient industrial base that could produce all of about 2,500 barrels of pine oil per day. In the end, a mere 3,000 barrels of “pine root” aviation fuel were ultimately delivered to the Japanese navy. And the pine derivative gummed up aviation engines after just a few hours of use. The entire project was a massive waste.
    Manchurian soybean oil fueled the battleship Yamato on its famous final voyage in April 1945.
    Those who fail to learn from the lessons of history will make the same mistakes again.

20. The sorts of people who think all ‘biofuels’ are the same, are the sorts of people who don’t know the difference between a gasoline engine and a diesel engine and the same people who put the wrong fuel in their vehicle tank.
    Making ethanol in N.America is a wasteful energy exchange to subsidize corn sugar/feed corn farmers. It takes at least a gallon of diesel fuel to make a gallon of ethanol, and it’s not a better fuel… for any engine.
    Making biodiesel in Canada from canola crop waste is a useful energy exchange. Using the waste canola oil makes processing animal fat into biodiesel easier and more efficient. A very useful fuel additive is produced and the byproduct is still good animal feed.
    Adding a small percent of biodiesel to all diesel fuel significantly reduces the smog from all diesel engines, especially older trucks.
    Some people wouldn’t understand why that’s important, or why all biofuels are not created equal.

21. Ethanol and biofuels are becoming big in my area. The proponents are using the argument that they are providing jobs, but what they don’t say is that those jobs are costing the taxpayers far more than the pay those employees are receiving. The subsidies those alternative fuel companies are getting are outrageous. Not to mention the corn being diverted from human and livestock consumption is forcing those prices ever higher.

22. “It takes at least a gallon of diesel fuel to make a gallon of ethanol”
    I am calling BS on that. Not even close. It takes one gallon of diesel to grow and deliver the corn for 28 gallons of ethanol.

23. North of 60;
    The Japanese air force was hooped after Midway June, 1942. The USA sank 4 of 6 Japanese carriers and the associated aircraft and crews. Most experienced pilots gone. Never recovered, no matter the fuel.
