The Linkage Between Policy And Reality - Marxists Have No Clue...

Ah, those damn "unintended consequences" [code for the reality they do not comprehend].

So, the policy, which "feels good" is:

1. causing the exact opposite environment they claim to want to preserve;

2. effecting commerce in a negative way by altering supply and demand;

3. possibly assisting certain Corporate Agra Farming Combines, who make the right donations to the right people;and

4. are seriously harming vast numbers of folks worldwide that are on the edges of serious starvation by artificially driving up the price of corn, e.g., tortillas, etc.

Nice job boys!

What the green-energy program has made profitable, however, is far from green. A policy intended to reduce global warming is encouraging a farming practice that actually could worsen it.

That's because plowing into untouched grassland releases carbon dioxide that has been naturally locked in the soil. It also increases erosion and requires farmers to use fertilizers and other industrial chemicals. In turn, that destroys native plants and wipes out wildlife habitats.

It appeared so damaging that scientists warned that America's corn-for-ethanol policy would fail as an anti-global warming strategy if too many farmers plowed over virgin land.

The Obama administration argued that would not happen. But the administration didn't set up a way to monitor whether it actually happened.

It did.

They seriously do not get reality.
