Headlines : EnvironmentAlert in Britain over dangers of biofuels
The pursuit of bio-fuels, of converting food into energy, will only condemn billions of our brethren to death due from starvation. El maiz which is a staple food of billions worldwide, will now be converted into fuel; so as to allow the wealthy and fortunate ones to continue their current life style of unabated by their dreadful decisions.
With the difficulty there is to produce enough eggs, enough milk, enough frijole, the shortsightedness of this decision will with out a doubt shake us to our very core. Lifting up from under us our staple food, which throughout centuries has fed us in times of famine and war.

EFFORTS to move from traditional fuels to biological ones could lead to an increase in the prices of food and deforestation at global level, according to a British report.
The European Union wants 10% of the fuel used by autos to come from biofuels by the year 2020.
But the report by the Cooperative Insurance Society states that pursuing this aim could have a serious environmental effect.
The document was published a few days after the UN warned that biofuels are more effective when used for heating and energy rather than transport.

Somos los hijos del maiz….
Hemp (Cannabis Sativa) is the highest yielding crop on earth.
it produces over 30 tons per year yield of biomass per acre , without pesticides or fertilisers , grows on marginal land and IMPROVES the soil.
1 tone of hemp produces over 100 gallons of methanol using pyrolysis.
methanol produces 1/20 th of the pollution that petrol does , produces no sulphur dioxide and is carbon nuetral.
methanol fuel will give you More miles per gallon than petrol , reduces engine wear and is less toxic and less dangerous than petrol.
6% of America’s land mass would produce all the power and fuel needs of America.
a petrol car can be converted to methanol use for about $50.
ITS A NO – BRAINER. any moron can see the benefits. DO THE MATHS.
WAKEY WAKEY.
