Brasil is to reach Oil Independance by next year using a combination of bio fuels and local potroleum production. This industry is also profitable in Brasil, important to note to any would be nay sayers. Canada's bio fuel industry is also growing rapidly. Why isn't the US's?
There wont be any serious investment or supportive legislature for the US bio fuels industry until oil's profitability dies do to lack of supply, a real lack of supply that can't be rectified by turning up the flow out of the wells or building new refineries. Why aren't troops gaurding every pipeline in Iraq, making sure production is up, so Iraqi oil could pay Haliburton's no bid contract fees? Because it would drop oil prices, its more profitable for big oil for the american tax payer to foot the bill in Iraq than Iraq itself. I said along time ago that the war with Iraq was a combination of blood fued between the Bush family and Sadam, and disrupting stability in the gulf. However, I don't write for the Gaurdian so few hear me and those that do rarley listen to what they hear from me.
