They missed a few words. The correct statement is “Food shortages caused by global warming activists and other greens who bushed biofuels for the last few decades.”

the Department of Agriculture reported this week that corn reserves are at their lowest level in nearly two decades. Federal officials, according to the New York Times, say the reserves are down because ethanol producers are buying corn as fast as possible in anticipation of a federal policy allowing the amount of corn-based fuel mixed with gasoline to increase from 10 percent to 15 percent. The price of a bushel of corn has doubled in the face of that demand, going from $3.50 a bushel to more than $7 a bushel

    “It is not a good policy to have these massive subsidies for [U.S.] first-generation ethanol,” said Gore, speaking at a green energy business conference in Athens sponsored by Marfin Popular Bank.

    “First-generation ethanol, I think, was a mistake. The energy conversion ratios are at best very small,” he said “It’s hard once such a program is put in place to deal with the lobbies that keep it going.”

    One of the most insidious machinations of the warmistas. They raised the cost and shortened the supply of food. All at the same time raising the cost and lowering the efficiency of our auto fuel.
