Demand for biofuel has brought about a strike in Italy over the rise in wheat/pasta prices. And NGOs in Africa are saying that the price increase in basic foodstuffs is already impacting their ability to feed the truly needy.
Having totally messed up his chance to deliver on his promise of cheaper gasoline,(remember? Iraq was going to pay for their own war w/ oil,) George is now scrambling to make sure that we get any at all. He would hate to be the one to get us cut off from ME oil - what a legacy *that* would be!
You`d better decide now how you want your "share" of that ME oil to be used. Transporting your food to you from wherever it was grown? Or on an SUV, or maybe a Vespa?
That`s not from a Green pov, that`s from a realistic political pov. |
