Freeaccess--Interesting times.
1. Using less coal should help, oil, "Green energy" and natural gas.
2. Using less biofuel means we need more coal or "Green Energy", oil or Nautral gas. Nukes seem out of it after Japan's tradgey, at least for a while.
3. So, use less biofuel at the same time less coal, and a huge squeeze is on making the "Green", oil and gas worth more?
4. Oil is used in the planting and harvesting of food, so the biofuel elimination should make corn and maybe other foods cheaper, but whn oil rises after the affects of all of the above, food may actually go up. RJA, I own a little, and it may break the bull pennant soon?

What a mess our government creates, AGHAST
Hold on to your wallets, buy a little house on a farm and stock up on 50 pound bags of rice.

isn't it in the 'best interest' not to use corn – after all, Uncle Sam is making so much money off the oil scam on Americans, why spoil a good thing?

What scam are you referring to? Please clarify.
