A lot of these biofuel facilities were established with subsidies and grants from leftist administrations. You have to make enough revenue to give politicians kickbacks, who in turn will give more subsidies and grants (if they are still in power). Problem is the taxpayer got scammed numerous times with unproven technology --- while the biofuel facilities went bankrupt and the project developers made off with massive amounts of taxpayer dollars (ie. Range Fuels).

I think there is more risk to species from pollution from runoff and garbage from third world countries, put into rivers and oceans, than from mining. Just sayin'.

This is a move for Ford's long term survival. Good thing Tesla is getting into semi-trucks because Ford is coming after them with a vengeance now.

I've been reading that because Ford/Chrysler/GM are making more expensive cars, rental car fleets are switching to Nissan and others. This is probably going to fill that void also.

They launched the program in 2009 and paid Venter and his company hundreds of millions of dollars ---- so where are the production facilities? This looks more and like a scam, like so many others in renewable energy. Step 1: Have an elitist academic type make a bunch of noise, Step 2: Convince politicians and globalists there is a problem that requires a Marxist redistributionist globalist solution, Step 3: Elites get rich at the expense of common working people and future unborn generations through trillions more dollars added to the debt.

This is a no-brainer, as anyone who has looked at the pictures of the lungs of smokers knows. But to label C02 as a pollutant is a marxist ploy that has nothing to do with science.

Why did Obama want to use American taxpayer resources to help the Brazilians explore for oil in the Atlantic Ocean, establish drill rigs in the Atlantic Ocean and be one of Brazil's best customers, but won't let Americans drill in Arctic Ocean? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7FrK8tNKqA

Given the competitive nature of the auto industry & the amount of spying going on, there is a very high likelihood that other automakers have been doing the same thing as VW, but VW just happened to get caught ---- like doping in professional sports. They better do a review of EVERYONE and not just crucify VW.
