vegetable fuels and climate change

[Guest guest]

Something that has concerned me for years with all the

talk about fuels made from corn etc, is the fact that with

man made problems drought has become the norm in the

mid west, where most corn, wheat etc are grown. Without

water you cannot grow crops. No crops no fuel. Not to mention

all the corn being turned into high calories food sweeteners

that are cheap and add to obesity concerns.

 

The San Joaquin Valley of California has been known as the

food basket, yet look at the areas between Sacramento and

Bakersfield where rich farm land is fast being turned into

look alike housing areas, which we call human mausoleums.

These homes use more water than what the farm lands used.

 

Little talk about smaller homes and mandatory solar on new homes.

Little talk about not allowing grass thirsty yards. Little talk about no

mass transit, or lack of sidewalks so people can walk to school and

stores.
