“The real solution is biodiesel — a green, efficient energy source that won’t starve the planet.”
Not wrong, exactly, but at the wrong angle. The solution is to let the free market deliver energy goods and services, unfettered by interfering politicians and busybodies. If, and to the extent that, biofuels were or are valuable the energy companies would deliver them at a marketable price.
Subsidies, regulations — and possibly worst of all, the perpetual self-righteous nagging of environmentalists and their enablers — are distorting the free exercise of trade.
That’s always bad – morally and practically.
