Biofuels do harm, aren't they? | pellets-wood.com
Production of biofuels (ethanol) from corn is not the ultimate goal for biofuel development. Production of ethanol from a cheaper, more sustainable raw material, such as cellulosic materials, will gradually replace the corn-ethanol technology, therefore reducing the concern on food shortage.

The gold report that I had sent earlier called Gold As Money is throwing up some interesting convergence and seems to have a compelling underlying theme on monetary debasement ; thus gold finding value amongst investors as the buying power of fiat paper money erodes = and that leads as always to hyperinflation eventually< as inflation expectations soar making it a self fulfilling prophecy> What makes hyper inflation even more of an impending problem is the possibility that Crude oil – Petroleum Products prices may now increase supported by a combination of Geopolitical issues + Decline of Dollar or even more importantly the perception that dollar shall decline even more.
