While there is agreement that the growth of biofuels has contributed to higher food prices, the amount is disputed.

Work by the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington suggests that biofuel production accounts for a quarter to a third of the recent increase in global commodity prices. The Food and Agriculture Organization of
the
United Nations predicted late last year that biofuel production, assuming that current mandates continue, would increase food costs by 10 to 15 percent.


Gasoline Appleton Wisconsin
Today 3.409 Hello, it's 3.41 today!
Yesterday 3.398
One Week Ago 3.381
One Month Ago 3.296
One Year Ago 2.872

Where the heck is our elected officials?

What will our elected officials do about high gasoline prices? What will they do about food shortages around the world?
Answer nothing, we need to just elect them out!

Who ever runs for any elected office in Wisconsin needs to dump the ethanol, remind people what they are spending on 10% blended gasoline and promise to drill in ANWR ,the gulf, or anywhere else we own our own oil.

What can happen to candidates that act conservative?

Get elected, that's all!

Where and when will we see conservative candidates again?
Remember every time conservative ideas are tried , they win!
