Happy Earth Day!

April 22 is Earth Day, "a time to celebrate gains we have made and create new visions to accelerate environmental progress."

In fact, the EPA's website posts this message from the EPA's Administrator, Steve Johnson: "Our nation's environmental accomplishments are rooted in our goal to leave the Earth a better place than when we found it. President Bush and I invite you to nurture the health of our global environment by renewing your environmental ambitions this Earth Day."

So, to celebrate, they're pushing alternative fuel. But really, what has this administration done for the environment?

According to the NRDC, the Bush administration "has shown again and again that it will cater to industries that put America's health and natural heritage at risk." Just check out the report.

Everyone seems to be saying that ethanol from corn is the answer to our fuel woes. As I understand it there are other plants that have ethanol also. And as I understand it one of them with more ethanol than corn is sugar beets which we can grow in this country also. So why arent they pushing for more sugar beets. Besides if we use all our corn for fuel, the cost of corn flakes will skyrocket from the shortage of corn.And don't forget those Fritos and Cheetos!
