Voting out politicians who support biofuels will lower food prices 25 to 50 percent, improve our gas mileage by several miles per gallon, and slow global warming by reducing the release of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. It will reduce water pollution and shortages, and slow the rate of topsoil erosion in the Midwest.

Topsoil in our strategic grain producing states is eroding so quickly that in 75 to 100 years it may be impossible to grow corn, soybeans, and wheat, the foundations of our food supply. Your grandchildren may starve and our civilization may collapse because our politicians are wasting our most precious natural resources producing a worthless product that is so inefficient it gives us little or no net energy gain. Politicians use the biofuel hoax to buy off the farm vote and appear to be “green” to the uniformed public. Biofuel advocates should be thrown out of office ASAP.
