| Why Are the Largest Food Companies Spending Millions of Dollars Attacking Ethanol While Completely Ignoring Gasoline and Diesel Prices? |
| G GLOVER PARK
GROUP'S SMEAR CAMPAIGN AGAINST FOOD PRICES AND METHANOL PRODUCTION By SDIII EUGENE, OREGON--(May 18, 2008)-- It's been a perfect storm situation for the corn producers, oil companies, and commodities speculators with the methanol producers and the average citizen getting caught in the middle. A report filed by ROLL CALL uncovers the who and why behind this smear campaign and I'm sure big oil is jumping for glee. Glover Park Groups proposal response is duly noted ..but they would rather not see this become public....TOO LATE NOW. The Capitol Hill publication Roll Call has revealed that the nations largest food corporations have been waging war on ethanol over the past few months.
Among the documents obtained by Roll Call was the GMA's proposal request to build a groundswell in support of freezing or reversing some provisions of the 2007 Energy Bill and for the elimination/reform of ethanol subsidies and import restrictions. Glover Park Groups proposal response included the number one objective to Obliterate whatever intellectual justification might still exist for corn-based ethanol among policy elites. These documents should be viewed with
outrage by every farmer and ethanol producer in the
country. RFA at RFS Hearing As the
House Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality heard testimony regarding the
Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) on Tuesday, oil hit yet another record high
of $122 a barrel.RFA president Bob Dinneen reminded the committee of that several times during the hearing, having to correct his own pre-prepared remarks, Mr. Chairman, the RFS made sense when you passed it in December and prices were $90 a barrel, Dinneen said. "It makes more sense today with crude oil prices at $120 a barrel. I'm sorry, just while this hearing has been going on, the market has increased and we're now looking at $122 a barrel oil." Ethanol is the only tool we have today that
can address the nations most serious economic issue our dependence on
imported oil and the rising price of gasoline and crude oil." he
said.

BY SDIII -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think the race is probably over, said Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer. But the demolition derby keeps going. I would guess there is going to be real pressure on her to wind it up and I would also guess she'll have a harder time raising money. This week should tell the tale on whether she quits or goes on. Analysts and pundits aren't the only ones questioning Clintons ability to win the race. I think effectively the race is over, Democratic strategist Ted Devine told CBSNews.com. Someone could theoretically conceive of a route home for her, but I don't see any realistic way for her to win more pledged delegates, more of the popular vote, or attract more superdelegates than she has now. Devine knows delegates, having
served on several Democratic presidential campaigns, including a stint as
the delegate counter for Michael Dukakis in 1988. It is effectively an
insurmountable lead that Obama holds, said Devine. South Dakota is the home state of George McGovern whose
1972 campaign was Clinton's first job in politics. McGovern endorsed
Clinton last year but today, he switched to Obama. Winning four out of the last six Democratic contests, Successfully pushing the party to recognize delegates from
disputed contests in Michigan and Florida against party rules, I don't think we're going to spend time
solely in primary states, Axelrod said. We have multiple tasks
here. |

Dear SeQuential
Friends, While some of the recent criticism raises very real concerns, the broad negative message that all biofuels are bad is inaccurate and damaging to the development of a locally based renewable fuel industry. SeQuential in partnership with our customers, is a leader in developing renewable energy in Oregon:
We named our company SeQuential to reflect the notion that we must start from where we are and work incrementally towards ever better solutions. We need to engage on this topic if we are to build a better future. We need your help in telling our story! As co-founders of this company, we are personally trying to speak with as many citizens as we can, to help them understand more about biofuels and what SeQuential is doing for our energy future. Here's where we need your help: If you know of a group that might be interested in learning more about the Oregon perspective on issues related to biofuels, please point us in their direction. No group is too small and no amount of time is too short. We can speak and do Q & A for 5 to 10 minutes or cover an entire lunch break. It doesn't have to be green or sustainable organizations. We will talk to anyone!
Feel free to
please pass this email along to anyone that you know who might be
interested. Sincerely, Tyson Keever & Ian Hill |
| Count Your
Incandescent Light
Bulbs I have 27 light fixtures in my home with some still using regular light bulbs..replacing these with CFL's will lower your electricity bill. If I were using a 75 watt incandecent in all these light fixtures and switched to compact fluorescent lights I would save at least 1.7 kwh of electicity per year or more and would not have to buy as many bulbs over that same year. This doesn't seem like much but if you multiply 1.7 kwh times the number of households in Eugene..the amount of electricity saved would boggle your noodle and lessen the load on the grid, EWEB would really appreciate that! |
