[quote=@catchamber] Suck to be an idiot farmer living in the central USA during the early 20th century, I guess. Too bad they missed out on the opportunity to provide a local and renewable fuel source, to make up for their national revenue loss through selling wheat! [/quote] This is like laughing at a dying caveman with food poisoning because he didn't just go and cook his mammoth meat on an electric stove. Not only are you being a complete dick by laughing at a dying person, you're saying its their fault because they didn't use technological advances that only came about after their death. This isn't even a 'Well communists believe that material conditions bla bla bla and I don't so they're stupid for not using biofuels", this is basic ignorance of common sense and the very nature of scientific advancement.
