Reply #18: It is incredible that Edwards won the Moveon.org poll [View All]

I listened to Edwards on the Moveon.org forum. He suggests that bio-fuels are the answer to the energy problem. It is clear that bio-fuels at best have some rather serious problems. An important one being the cost of food. He didn't bother to address any of these problems.

Edwards said, "Bio fuels which is where the transition will have to lead to."

Further, now that I listened to him again, he is talking about the price of oil dropping.

The only possible way to interpret his spiel is that the price of oil will drop because of the use of bio fuels. And this will enrich the economies of Africa and America because they have land to grow bio fuels, and force the opec countries to change their policy because of the dropping price of oil.

This strikes me as a typical politicians and a typical Edward's speech, promising the impossible to pander to the electorate. He was clearly in LaLa land when he was talking about the price of oil dropping.
