Biofuels from nonfood chain feedstock sources are viable alternative fuels
November 4, 2009
Biofuels do harm, aren't they? | pellets-wood.com
The biofuels and alternative energy project models that were originally based on feedstock materials from the food chain commodities have been shown to a failure, something many already knew.Not only did they add to the upward pressures on food chain commodities, especially corn and soyoil, they brought added deforestation pressures in several developing economies.Additional fertilizers and pressures on already low water supplies in some areas were additional exacerbations to the equation.The new generation of feedstock for biofuel production will be from nonfood chain sources and will add new benefits into the biofuel equation.

Recent events in Iran and again in Honduras demonstrate the drift in American foreign policy and contributes to global confusion on what America stands for these days. These are just some private thoughts to share with all. Enjoy the 4th!

Transport fuel costs and economic recovery

The ups and downs of diesel | www.chron.com
Energy costs are at the heart of all economies and impact growth and most certainly recoveries from downturns. Transport fuel costs are second only to power generation in terms of importance to economic growth.

Gazprom CEO Sees Oil at $85 A Barrel by Year’s End | www.rigzone.com
CEO Miller is on target and probably has deeper insight than he showed in this interview. As certain economies begin to recover and others begin to feel the effects of their stimulus, the decline in demand will ease and gradually produce upward pressures on price. Inflation risk, especially in the US economy will also play a role in driving prices, especially if crude remains linked singularly to the dollar.

Buffett Sees Massive Inflation to Handle Staggering Debt | moneynews.newsmax.com
Inflation will become a serious problem within the next 2 years. However, there are more serious results that will occur due to the Obama administrations' irresponsible fiscal plans. Higher taxes for every citizen and company are virtual guarantees and will be an inhibitor to meaningful recovery and growth.

One hundred | www.nytimes.com
This administrations' first 100 days have been a failure. The media in America cannot afford to objectively judge this President as their credibility now rests on the false buildup and hype they invested in his election. America is going to be irrevocably changed by this administration and there is little being done at the moment to resist this change. The Republican party is not doing enough to combat this change and are being further marginalized to an extremely dangerous position that will open the door to an even more dangerous paradigm shift in Americas' position in the world. The citizens must now get involved, informed and vocal about this dangerous shift.

Obama: Earth Day Speech Touts Green Jobs, Cap-and-Trade | blogs.wsj.com
The "green economy" has the potential to produce significant job growth but the Cap-and-Trade portion of this plan is failed. Cap-and-Trade is a reward for irresponsible behavior and will not remove one ounce of CO2 from the atmosphere. This is a system ripe for manipulation and corruption. It will actually increase prices and could serve to limit the value of the alternative energy initiative and job creation.

Are Old Tires Fuel or Solid Waste? - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com | greeninc.blogs.nytimes.com
Used tires, along with used plastic containers, used aluminum cans and a host of other manufactured good are at the same time fuel and recycled feedstocks as well as solid waste and are important parts of the energy/environmental equation. They are a substantial risk to the environment if not properly disposed of and are a hazardous waste if left to landfills or "used tire mountains" exposed to the environment. Used tires have a place in the whole business of recycling and environmental responsibility.
