Why can’t the animal worshippers harness their considerable power to get naturally fertile areas of the world (hint: UKRAINE) to develop Soybean and Corn for fuels in furnaces and cars. The stuff costs less than oil or natural gas, it burns cleaner, and it is renewable.
A reader writes:
Ukraine is capable of growing large quantities of soybeans and thereby becoming a major producer of soybean protein and soybean oil. When petroleum becomes $71 a barrel, it becomes very economical to use soybean oil as an alternative diesel fuel.
Until this happens, there is a ready world market for soybean oil at $ .225 per pound (or $71 per barrel) and the foreign exchange will secure conventional fuel from the world market. The protein is even more in demand
Will the Oil Cartel prize their fuel so when it is obsolete? Unlike corn and soy, it might be difficult to eat.
