Biofuels in Europe: cockeyed planning by people who know nothing of science or math

American Thinker rips European policy on biofuels:

Hoisted on its own corn stalk?



EPA relying on conjecture-based fantasy?


And fear of the Brazilian boogeyman proved unfounded:

But as the contentious [U.S. import] tax finally expires at year-end, American farmers' fears of being swamped by sugar-based tropical biofuel seem unfounded. With Brazil's ethanol industry struggling to meet booming local demand, it's U.S. producers instead who are shipping millions of gallons to the south. from Reuters Brazil, short of biofuel, can't open spigot to US
