The Ethanol Domino Effect

An intrinsically flawed relationship with the natural order has allowed the policy makers to create the ethanol debacle that is upon us. This is because the health of the environment is dependent on all the features of the environment being healthy.

The environment can be understood to be comprised of all the relationships that contribute to maintaining life. The ethanol policy has disrupted the relationships on almost, if not every aspect of our living. The earth is being harmed. The health of the earth is fairly important to humans as well as those they share it with. Right there is the heart of the concept that has allowed this malicious ethanol policy to be shoved down our throats. Those who made the policy do not think of sharing the earth. They think of dominating and exploiting it for their private use.

The effects of the ethanol scam behave within this environment in the way a series of dominoes do. When one is pushed into its companion, the whole series topples one after another.

This can be seen easily by the act of flushing fertilizer run off into the Mississippi River. The Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico occurs. It has to.

When a food product is removed from the people, the people become hungry. When food becomes scarce it also becomes expensive. When the food becomes expensive the ability to maintain the lifestyle you've become accustomed to becomes impossible; or at best more difficult than before. So who is the enemy that is destroying our way of life?

This is so obvious that the policy to take our food and turn it into fuel takes on diabolical connotations.

Every area of human life on the planet will be affected negatively by the flawed energy mandates of the United States. This is easy to understand when you acknowledge that the health of the environment is dependent on the health of all the relationships within it. This is impossible to understand if you act on the premise that you can beat it into submission and not harm it. Or perhaps they understand and simply do not care if harm occurs.

Here's a short list of articles documenting the harm that has been done to us, as well as the potential for harm that will be caused by this policy.

The fishing industry and the workers in that industry have had their way of earning their livelihood disrupted.
When income is disrupted families suffer. A PhD is not necessary to realize that. This scientific study shows how proponents of ethanol think.

The quality and availability of drinking water is endangered. Aquifers have been placed under stress by the potential of the ethanol policy.

The ability to obtain food and to produce food has been impacted.

Taxpayers will have to give billions of their dollars to industries so that they can produce ethanol. Thats a slap in the face isn't it?
It should be a wake up call. There is an additional, hidden tax as well. The fuel made with ethanol will cost more.

All of the relationships involved in the planet are being negatively impacted by this policy.
