Are We Running Out of Food?

Sorry. I did not know. Nevermind then.

I have actually enjoyed it. Author makes well-reasoned argument, no partisan attacks, not obvious fallacies, no inflaming of passions. Well worth the read.

I personally suspect the food shortage story is very convenient PR to the oil companies so there may be a connection there.

Over the long term there is going to be battle between old energy and new energy. Old one is well entrenched with money and, ahem, connections. New one has much better, greener, more humane PR story on its side and goodwill is an enormous asset - ask Google. From this angle it makes sense attack new energy where it hurts the most - undermine the message itself.
