I am pretty sure this is going to cause a riot in the town I work in. Like, a big one. Because a lot of the busses were just converted over to biofuel to make the town “greener”. OOPS.
By now, it’s been hammered into people’s heads that “Biofuel = Good”. Do you really think that they’re going to change that business plan just because it isn’t true ?
Definitely. It might take some time for the riot to happen because people around here don’t read and therefore are misinformed, but I’m guessing someone will tell them eventually.
Remember in the 80′s all the celebrities were whining about saving the rainforests? Well the price of Palm Oil-based biofuel is so high now that rainforests are being destroyed in borneo and the cloud leopard is going extinct so farmers can plant palm trees to make biofuel.

This should surprise me a lot less than it does.

Plus, people in my town just like to riot. We’ve had several. I think it’s something to do with the water…

You appear to assume that this won’t be ignored in favor of the current dogma.
February 13th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
I am not following. What current dogma are you referring to?

Depends how big the riot is.
February 13th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
The riot will be as big as the media makes it. The media will make it as big as the industry allows.
February 13th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Tell that to the responders. (As in, police, fire, medical.)
We’ve had really big riots here, with and without media coverage.
February 13th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
Well, let me know how it plays out, okay ?
February 13th, 2008 at 12:50 pm

We shall see. Thank you!
