News Media Bias Bio-Diesel This Time

With>Link slobs like this flappin their yap, with all to see, it's no wonder we are wallowing in our current problems. Every time someone tries to dig us out of the ditch, pigs like this push them right back in.

Tried to locate this slob to no avail. If YOU can, tell him to contact me. I'd be happy to have a very serious face to face conversation with him about his irresponsible use of the news media. When we are done, he may choose to seek a different method of having himself employed.

"We're going to have lots of biodiesel," is what I took away from the article. What's so bad about that?

The concept of biodiesel and ethanol as short-term measures to stretch what's left of the oil supply on this planet, while new technology is developed, is a GREAT idea. It's especially great if we can use what otherwise would end up being dumped in landfills, rivers, lakes, etc..

Restaurants and food processing plants throw away millions and millions and millions of gallons of the raw material to make biodiesel and ethanol every year.

What is bad about the article is not the article itself, but what the article is describing: Plants SPECIFICALLY built to make biodiesel. They're just going to take virgin oil-producing seed, squeeze it to get the oil, then throw the rest away!

Long term consequences of population growth..Graph reads that in about 60 years, there will be less then 1 acre of food producing land per person. You still think biodiesel is a long term viable product?

The>Link US population is mostly static, while other "Western" countries are actually in decline. The same graph (if accurate) in Europe would show the greatest DEPOPULATION since the Black Plague in the Middle Ages. Japan and China are looking at the same issue.

Why do you think there is so much concern for Social Security? The number of YOUNG PEOPLE are declining as a percentage of population. To sustain the growth numbers your non-sourced graph shows the Baby Boom would have had to continue through the current day for the next 60 years, when it actually ended in the early 60s.

As for Bio diesel, who said it had to replace all existing diesel? If it only knocked off 20% of domestic usage it would reduce imports by nearly half. Sounds like a winner.

Population growth rate: 0.92% (2005 est.) Birth rate: 14.14 births/1,000 population (2005 est.) Death rate: 8.25 deaths/1,000 population (2005 est.)

The fastest growing population in the US is the hispanics.

The graph is accurate.

Read the posts, I said that bio diesel will help in easing the shortages.

Do your research.

Either way, I don't work for them and I gave you the straight facts which you refuse to accept. Ok, you're entitled.

What is it in the article that you disagree with?

I read it, and I didn't see anything particularly controversial. The essence of the article is that with all the new biodiesel production coming on line, capacity could exceed demand. If so, doesn't that mean lower fuel prices for everybody?

Biodiesel won't get this country out of its problem. You're screaming without facts nor knowledge and you should get both.

With oil we have issues also Hurricanes, Wars and others.

It's just some dude's opinion. Take it for what its worth.

And, he's not saying anything about biodiesel being bad. He's just pointing out that production is going to more than double in the coming years. So, there may be a supply excess. So what?

100 years sounds like a long time until you think about it when you hit 60 or so and figure out just how fast it went by.
