Bush in Brazil , seeks new deal against the Amazon rainforest
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/americas/03/...s.ap/index.html
Bush visits Brazil and thousands of people there tell him to go back to where he came from : Quote:
Quote:
He tries do destroy other's people country so the US can profit from them. "We give you printed paper (money) , you destroy your country and give us ethanol" What ethanol production means and why it's an utopia : The USA consumes today 20 million barrels of oil / day. For only 1 million barrels of ethanol 20 million hectares of sugar cane or corn is needed. As you know, corn or sugar cane does not grow in one day. Intensive agriculture destroys the soil. Also they need more space for normal agriculture, which means that more and more of the Amazon jungle will be cut down or burned. Amazon today : 600 new fires every day, man made or natural. 20 years ago it was impossible to set the jungle on fire because of the humidity, now things have changed, because of the deforestation there is draught, the jungle catches fire by itself from lightning. Amazon dries up : http://youtube.com/watch?v=g7gpAy4ivZ0 But Bush is imune and not interested about all this, he just wants more ethanol, wants to "help" Brazil. That is why the brazilian people love him so much. That is why Venezuela chose Hugo Chavez for president, they do not want a puppet president, slave of the US like Brazil has, and who will do exactly what Bush wants http://www.thewe.cc/weplanet/news/forests/...n_speeds_up.htm

Just read about this in the papers... While it's good that Americans are going for more enviroment-friendly fuels, I wish they'd not destroy more rain forests to reach that goal

Five years ago, he would've been cheered for trying to free the U.S. from it's petroleum dependence.

Pissing in the cornflakes

While I think the oringial post is just sort of a rant with really nothing to discuss, I am happy to discuss biofuels which are becoming very politically entrenched around the corn industry and pretty silly as an alternative fuel. Energy independence won't be achieved by burning food.

Unfortunately, economic well being is tied to the ability of a society to sustain its environment.
Some sacrifice of tropical forest, of all types across the globe, is necessary in order to save the remainder. How much gets destroyed is a function of the property rights of a country, and the prosperity of its people.
