Radical, direct, and clear, this skinny little pamphlet will stop you right in your well-intentioned tracks. Alex Ziegler clearly puts the biofuel movement into frightening historical perspective, deconstructing the "myth of progress" and revealing it as mere reactionary response to the depletion of resources. Consumption is consumption, whether it be of blood-stained petrol or of palm oil harvested from former rain forests, and the U.S. consumes more than any other nation and leaves millions impoverished or worse. I'll keep my bike, thanks.
