Well, the predicted price increase of food as a cause of Biofuel has just seen light.
The price of food in Canada, probably elsewhere, is going to be going up to keep up with the competing energy sector in the creation of biofuel.
This quick change in food prices might, and probably will, have some pretty bad consequences. We have already seen stagnation before, and the experts believe that's what will happen again as people and unions request wage increases.
Oh boy do we have a fun year ahead of us...

Biofuel is the epitome of idiocy. It doesn't even help the environment, and oil isn't going to run out any time in the forseeable future. Perhaps the reason for it is in fact to cause stagnation?

Dum Dum Dum. Another conspiracy theory eh? :p
Ya, Biofuel isn't really too helpful, it's not even an alternative fuel, it's been known it could be done FOREVER.

Phh. They're simply delaying the inevitable, and consequently worsening the situation.
I can't imagine what peak oil would be like with already inflated food costs.

Peak oil will only happen if governments choose to let it. It's a myth, quite frankly. Worldwide oil reserves could still hold us off for a few hundred years.
