Actually I agree with the fellow. The people being hurt by this are the poor people that exist around the world in large part because we have since WWII made cheap grain available to them. This has allowed them to increase above the normal carrying capacity of their subsistance farms and move into the cities. They do not have the option of eating petroleum as Tack suggests because they do not have it either.
Cutting off their established food supplies is a crime against humanity. To do it for the sake of inefficiently converting that grain to fuel is a real piss off. To make fuel using a waste rich and water consumptive process while at the same time preventing the installation of modern clean and efficient hydrocarbon cracking plants is just nutty.
The turmoil that likely will flow from this around the world has great potential to make Islamofacism look like a tempest in a tea cup. Drac
