In the Preface of the seminal neo-environmentalist treatise <A HREF="http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&id=ojAiz1Mrw8UC&dq=%22man+and+the+biosphere%22&printsec=frontcover&source=web&ots=PWf3WY3t5f&sig=5XIp2pRvGfZENfghezuzzASEJSY#PPP13,M1" REL="nofollow">Man and the Biosphere: Toward a Coevolutionary Political Economy</A> it says "a major obstacle to its development has been the orientation of economic analysis on the <I>narrow conceptualizations of the self-regulating market</I> rather than on multilevel forms of socio-technico-Biospheric planning."

It's really about being anti-capitalist, but they dare not be honest about that, so they hide behind any cause they can convert to their purpose.<BR/><BR/>So of course any alternative energy source that starts serving the establishment also comes under attack as unworthy, because it no longer serves the purposes of the the anti-capitalist left.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link to your article, I've amended my post above to include it, because it explains the many ways the ethanol scam not only fails it's purported purpose, but also does a lot of harm in many other areas as well.<BR/><BR/>I can't believe this irrational "feel good" crap was ever implemented. It's worse than incredibly foolish, it's actually harmful, and must be stopped.Chashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165615466886851925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15832687.post-43943828463315586982008-04-08T17:22:00.000-07:002008-04-08T17:22:00.000-07:00It's a conundrum.

But then the alternative energy sources turn out to have even more politically incorrect consequences than oil. Windmills slice and dice birdies and hydroelectric dams make the fishies impotent. So, as soon as the envriros get what they want, they turn around and start protesting it. <BR/><BR/>The ethanol debacle turns out to be much more harmful than wind or hydroelectric power, because it affects people, not just birds and fish -- although, from an enviro perspective, that probably makes is not as bad...<BR/><BR/>I posted a blog entry on this last month, called <A HREF="http://notyourdaddy.wordpress.com/2008/03/03/hoist-by-the-green-petard/" REL="nofollow">Alternative Energy and the Law of Unintended Consequences</A>. The lefties were quick to divert the blame to agribusiness and call me colorful names for daring to suggest that they blew it big time on this.
