Biofuel Threat Now Becoming Exponentially Worse

Hey all,

I just watched a chilling panel discussion on C-Span 2. The forum was 
put together by representatives for the IDB (Inter-American Development 
Bank) two of whom were on the panel. (The IDB is sort of like the World 
Bank of the Western Hemisphere.) Also on the panel were; Jeb Bush, who 
now heads an ethanol industry council; and a former President of 
Kissinger & Associates.

The panel, titled 'Private Investment in Hemispheric Biofuels', touted 
the looming biofuels boom and how the panelists intend to garner $200 
billion in investment funds to implement a massive expansion of Western 
Hemisphere biofuel production (including palm oil biodiesel in countries 
like Colombia).

To see tape purchasing info on the panel video go to:

I don't know if the program will air again on C-Span...
