Re: Ethanol cars run on human misery
Thought-provoking but not exactly breaking news.
It does seem that for every potential solution to a problem we create another elsewhere.
Similarly, but less publicised perhaps, is the growing development of polylactic acid (PLA) based packaging films to replace plastics such as polyester (PET). These rely on maize which has long been a staple for poor Mexicans. As PLA and other organic-based products develop prices of hitherto cheap foodstuffs begin to escalate.
