It seems absurd to discuss the use of biofuels without discussing the control of all energy resources, from oil to white energy, and nuclear energy as well. Although this is an area in which conscious planning on a global scale should prevail, it is energy production and transport and the management of energy resources that are most important, especially since the choice between the various energy sources can have major consequences for the planet’s future.
Yet, this is an area which is dominated by some of the most powerful corporations in the world, whose sole concern is to maximise their profits, whatever the implications may be for the human race. These corporations have the resources to impose their decisions on the entire world and to use Member States and their tax policy to support the most profitable form of energy. The “European Union’s energy dependence”, condemned by the report, does not, in actual fact, support producing countries – it supports these corporations.
In order to have a genuine discussion on the choice between the various forms of energy, we should subject these corporations to checks on their strategy and even their approach to their research."@en1
