There're more and more stories about, exactly, one of the points TK
was making about biofuels.

I'd like to see a current study on shortages due to transportation,
as opposed to shortages due to lack of supply. The problem has
historically been one of transportation, cost for transport, and
getting it there while it was still good. Looks like that's changed,
or it could be the newest hype, and the cost increases could have more
to do with soaring oil prices. Most likely a bit of both.
Let's pose a question. If millions of people are dieing due to high
food prices caused in large part due to expensive oil, is agressive
action warranted against countries, and suppliers artificially raising
the prices?
Good war for oil, or no blood/no food? To add a tag, now would be a
good time to relocate the UN and cut our contribution to the average
of the Security Council.:

Quoted:
The repair costs is budgeted at around 1.9 billion dollars, to be paid
by member nations based on their percentage of annual dues.
For example, China will contribute $39 million, Russia $21 million and
Iran will contribute less than $3 million. The U.S. — which funds
about a quarter of the U.N.’s budget — will contribute $400 million —
more than any other country.
Our tax dollars at work, and they want more:
