Feeding Your SUV Corn and Wheat Sucks Big Time
Feeding corn and wheat to your SUV is just plain sick. Really it is but that is what is happening out there. Some years ago the politicians in a moment of weakness decided that a great way alternative source of energy was using corn and wheat to produce biodiesel fuel.
Not only has that resulted in soaring prices in these commodities, it has lead to a contribution to the shortage of this food source in the world. Clearly this was not well thought out. Yep, using that food source to feed the SUV is really sick.
To make a better product for fuel they have changed to a lower quality, less protein quality of wheat and corn. So even if they stopped using it that would be a poorer quality source to feed to people.
In a recent report it was said that algae is a better product to use to produce biodiesel as the same acreage can produce some 180 times what is now gotten from corn and wheat.
It looks like it is time to make the switch and help feed people the food products and use an alternative method for our vehicles. Feeding food to cars is not the solution.
There are many ways, many alternatives, let’s hope they get working on something better especially considering the disasters happening around the globe.
