Government to slow expansion of bio-fuels - Pendlebury
The transport secretary announced in parliament today that the UK was slowing its expansion of bio-fuels policy because of the impact it is having on food prices.
Now was I the only person that saw this coming - wasn't it obvious that if you introduce manadatory levels of such a thing then the farmers know the oil companies have no choice but to buy it and so what will they produce ? - or was it that our government thought there were thousands of acres of land with surplus farm labour just waiting for a decision like this to come along.
Yet again we have a policy decision they cannot stick to because they do not think things through adequately.
I find it staggering that people like this are actually running the country !!!
