With the summers massive flooding in the Mid-west 3.3 million acres of crops are expected to be lost to the floods covering the central farm states. The only benefit that may come from the widespread flooding in the nation’s Midwestern grain belt is that it is a God-send to environmental extremists who believe that to achieve a perfect balance between earth and man the population should be reduced 90%.
They are being aided by the U.S. Congress with their federal energy bill signed into law last fall requiring the production of 9 billion gallons of biofuels this year, up from 6.4 billion in the 2007 law. The mandate will be met largely by producing ethanol from corn.
Continuing to convert corn to ethanol will push up global food prices by 10 to 15 percent, according to a United Nations estimate, and add to the hunger and starvation in the poorest parts of the world. Twenty percent of the nation’s corn crop now goes to make ethanol.
Congress stepped in to subsidize the production of ethanol because the open market can’t afford it. It takes 30% more money to produce a gallon of ethanol which contains 25% less energy than a gallon of gas. If not for this government cheese program this less efficient, more expensive fuel would not be produced at all.
Environmentalists are hoping to top their first major success of getting the pesticide DDT banned in 1972 which was followed by the deaths of 60 million people from the spread of Malaria.
Environmentalists everywhere can rest assured tonight that the U.S. Congress is on your side in the battle to save the earth by killing the people you have deemed undesirable.

More thought should be put Issiac Newton’s Law of Cause and Effect. Every action that government takes has effects. Sometimes intended, sometimes not, but does the intention really matter to the people that are affected?
