..More importantly, instead of fear and war mongering and trying to prepare us for “Long Wars” because… “we need the energy,” (why are we in Iraq?) Mr. Woolsey should be honest with the HCEC and America’s farmers by educating them about peak oil and how we need to start re-localizing markets and supply chains so that farmers can be better prepared for the coming energy supply reductions and increased energy prices (fuels, fertilizers and pesticides) that we will experience due to the peaking of world oil production.
Agriculture is going to become more local again with or without biofuels. Peak oil will kill globalization and the 3,000-mile Caesar salad will come to an end. I say good riddance to NAFTA, GATT and all the other globalization acronyms, but that is a subject for another time.
