Throughout man’s relation to the earth, we have questioned the boundaries between progress and ethics. Like every other generation in human history, we face those same challenges today. While advancements in communication and travel have made the world a smaller place, they have also increased our need for energy and technology.

The world is using more of its natural resources than ever before, but are we trading something in return? Many scientists today claim that man’s industrial creations are to blame for global warming, that our greed and contempt for the planet have compromised the future for life itself. They sight examples of common daily luxuries such as automobiles, new development for homes, and techniques in farming, as dangerous to the greater globe. But is there alarmism within this message? Are these same projectors of a future to fear not guilty of their own contemptible actions in the areas of political power and financial gain?

In our Court Rules On Warming piece earlier this week, we took a minute to discuss the recent supreme court decision over EPA regulation of greenhouse gases.

Pertaining to the news media, this was yet another chance to say the words “a blow to the Bush Administration”, but PP chose to actually comment on the ruling itself.

Through mainstream media attacks, reports on anything Bush these days seem to get lost in a sea of propaganda and negative emotion. For it seems that any news on Bush, is bad news that we the public must here.

What was lost this week were a couple of comments that the president made, comments that I feel merit some serious consideration.

Castro’s Back, Hating Biofuels

Posted by: Jason | March 29th, 2007 · 3:41 PM

“Over three billion people in the world condemned to premature death due to starvation and thirst”, so goes the new editorial by Fidel Castro in Cuba’s Granma newspaper.

In his first statement back from illness, Castro blasted the Bush Administration’s policy on importing biofuels, a move solidified during Bush’s recent trip to Latin America.

This signifies the first major condemnation by the left on alternative fuels, outlying a clear contempt for ANY forms of energy, oil or otherwise.

Castro and the left’s stance on viable alternative sources of energy are far from new, and they give life to the claim that environmentalism practiced by the radical left cannot be trusted. For it is the industry, and the success of that industry, that they clearly loath.

Laugh now, but if the Bush Administration’s plan for reducing foreign sources of oil by importing corn and sugar cane products from places like Brazil takes off, it won’t be long before leftists cloaked under the environmental banner are out in full force protesting somewhere.

“In the name of the starving children” they’ll say, “America must reduce it’s dependence on foreign corn”. How tired these people are…
