Biofuels: Muhammad's Worst Nightmare

There is much debate about biofuels, mainly surrounding the value of making our machines go versus the enviornmental problems in the production of such fuels.  Ethanol is caustic in some ways, not very efficient in how much energy it stores and releases and how valuable is it compared to organic oils, hemp, or other means of energy storage and usage.  Today in the US we have biofuel stations, recycling of used oils is very big business and the "greening" of our society continues apace.  One bright aspect of this mindset is the very real possibility of not only getting away from fossil fuels, but also destroying our enemies ability to fight against us by removing the source of their funding.

Going through my files I came across this article, I had saved it because I thought the idea of Islamic countries being afraid of our biofuel program would one day be more relevant that it was back in 2008.  Now with electric cars coming online, and more diverse biofuel/electric energy studies happening, it was time to revisit this theme of oil and our future.

We send about one billion dollars a day to our enemies in the Middle East.  Saudi Arabia is the main beneficiary of our "jizya" payment each day, and as long as we continue to fund the expansion of Wahhabi doctrine through our petro-dollars, we risk our safety in the name of profit and "friendly relations".

If you are a fan of taking money out of the mouths of those willing to kill us in the name of Allah, realise how easy it can be to stop this before it gets too far out of hand.

Oil producing countries fear bio-fuels competition

Saudi Arabia admitted that petroleum producing countries are concerned with the competition of alternative fuels, such as bio-fuels and with the determination of many countries to ensure their “energy independence”.

They are scared that their money will dry up and end their reign of terror against the "infidels"

This concern among producing countries is retracting investments in the sector, said Saudi Petroleum and Mineral Resources minister Ali Al-Naimi addressing the International Forum on Energy which concludes Tuesday in Rome. "I've seen unprecedented levels of uncertainty, doubts and even fear in the conversation about the future of energy and its impact on world growth prospects", he added. Al-Naimi said that "high prices of oil, geopolitical tensions, the new role of crude as a financial instrument, concerns about climate change and the growing popularity of the notion of energy independence are increasing the levels of anxiety among producers and consumers"

Less money means less ability to spread political Islam.  How is that a bad thing?  Also notice how the Saudis try to tie their own reduction in oil revenue to a reduction of the worlds financial growth. 

(...)"the call to replace petroleum with alternative fuels in the name of energy security heightens anxiety among producing countries of a future with falling demand for the commodity which is their main source of income" said Al-Naimi.

Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall...
