Food or Fuel


On occasion, a controversial article related to the agricultural industry pops up that is worthy of pointing out to my readers. We don’t live in a vacuum. What happens on a national level should always concern us on a local level.

The subject matter is at the core of green economics and our desire to be conscientious stewards of our environment. It is an ongoing debate. What are the pros and cons of ethanol production and how does its hand play out? Some say it takes more out of the energy pool to produce than it replenishes so where is the balance? This article is required reading as it points out some interesting factoids about a recent EPA decision and a very controversial subject that eventually comes home to roost. Read on…. and don’t forget to post your comments.
