You look in the right places, and persistenly enough, and you WILL find the smoke-filled back room, where the real deals are made.........

Of course! I hsve to slap myself on the forehead. it fits. The farmer will be feeding the new demand and at the rate the bio-fuel providers pay. I am assuming Barley is the source for bio-fuel, as it is what is on the table right now. Presently no one can bypass the wheat board and it's the wheatboard that sets the rate. A new door has opened and only the invited are permitted to enter.

Expect little from life and get more from it.

I guess you missed this quote in the article; "The article suggests that the federal government could do more to fight greenhouse gases (GHG) if it used the money to buy carbon offsets."

Your assuming the government went into power to do you and I some good. There is no profit in spending money on fighting greenhouse gas's. That is not what going to bio-fuel is about. As Eugine pointed out, it is no coincidence the dismissal of the wheat board and the requirement for bio-fuel happened together. He further pointed out at least one party who stands to gain by it. I didn't miss the part about the better use of the money. The government chose to ignore it. The have turned one accord aside to fight greenhouse gas's, to form their own profitable one. Unfortunatly, we will be paying for the profit.

It is (after all) about making money -- and preferably on the backs of those who have to work for it.
