Human food used to make car fuel while people abroad starve.
They feed it to animals too! Meat eaters take note.
"An East Yorkshire biofuel plant has told Yorkshire and Lincolnshire farmers that its use of locally-produced wheat will boost their businesses. The area is one of the country's biggest producers of wheat, currently used for animal feed. Vivergo at Saltend, near Hull, said it aimed to use 1.1m tonnes of wheat per year to make renewable fuel. The high starch content of the region's wheat makes it ideal for bioethanol, the company said. Farmer and National Farmers' Union representative Ian Backhouse said: "To have a customer on our doorstep taking the volumes of wheat they're talking about is really good news for local farmers."..." "...Up to 5% of bioethanol can currently be blended with regular fuel for use in any petrol-based car engine but this may increase to 10% to meet renewable energy targets, according to the AA..."

It must be terrible pressure for all those people working hard at BP Chemicals Saltend Hull. On the other hand it must be incredibly boring to have nothing to do all day with one finger up your arse and another tapping on the keyboard. I suspect that it is very rewarding and fulfilling. |

But more to the point, are you saying that the farmers are cyclists, or the animals are cyclists, or the plant owners are cyclists, if none of these then why post it to a cycling NG? |
