The bestower of all things worthy, her Grand Benevolence, The Poobah of Propane, The Imparter of Gas, Madame Pelosi declared, that on July 4, 2007, this country would be free of Middle East oil shackles.

War has been waged; congressional and journalist jihadists attacked Big Oil, successfully opposing new domestic exploration and extraction, unleashing the feared WMD ethanol. It worked out well didn’t it.

As Democrats solidified their control of Congress in early 2007, the newly empowered leadership pledged to “truly declare our energy independence” by July 4, 2007.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) announced she would create a panel on energy independence, “accelerate the implementation of existing clean, energy-efficient technologies,” invest in domestic alternatives and “send our energy dollars to the Midwest not the Middle East.”

The broadcast networks – ABC, CBS and NBC – have mentioned “energy independence” more than 60 times since Pelosi first made her “Energy Independence Day” pledge in January 2007.

They haven’t declared success yet, why I don’t know. After all this is an election year.

I don’t think we can survive more Pelosi success ideas.

Maybe drinking biofuels tastes fine.

In lean times, biotech grains are less taboo

Soaring food prices and global grain shortages are bringing new pressures on governments, food companies and consumers to relax their longstanding resistance to genetically engineered crops. [snip]

There can’t be a food shortage, we have food to burn. Ethanol is the wave of the future. This is what the greenies wanted, this is what results.
First, understand there isn’t a shortage of food, there is a shortage of non-GE food. In Europe, Asia and areas like Vermont, they want non-modified food. This is a self-inflicted predicament for 75% of the corn grown in the US is GE. If they want corn, they get what we sell and pay the price. Or, grow their own. They can have precisely what they want then.
If they don’t, Frankenfoods, the bane of every Luddite, are coming to their plate.

There is one more option:

I could not tell if this was a pickup or a delivery.
