...ally, sets long-term objectives and a schedule to achieve them. They simply believe the state of things in today's world is temporary and intend, within the framework of a grand design, to change the world as conditions become favorable. Forcing them to do with less grain or fish will not be enough to change their minds...
...Soviet Union is heavily colored by self-interest. Put simply, Europe is making money out of détente. Last year European Community exports to the Soviet Union amounted to an estimated $8.2 billion (as compared with U.S. exports for the same year, mostly in the form of grain and other farm produce, worth only $3.3 billion). West Germany, Italy and France are counting on Soviet natural gas to help meet energy demands in the oil-scarce years ahead, and a Western European consortium will build a pipeline to bring the gas west. The U.S.S.R. is also providing...
...simply a mixture of unleaded gasoline and anhydrous ethanol, which is 200-proof, water-free grain alcohol much like the stuff that gives the kick to gin and vodka. In the U.S., the mix is 9 to 1, but in other countries the ethanol content is higher to save even more oil. Brazil, for example, expects all of its citizens to be driving on gasohol with a 4-to-1 mix by the end of 1980, at a saving of about $500 million on its oil import bill. Moonshiners can distill a lower proof ethanol from such materials as corn...
...actual gasohol incentive program aims to boost production and consumption. It defers that annual target of 500 million gal. of ethanol production to 1981. While generous, it falls far short of what some had hoped. It fails to ensure that federal farm policies will provide distillers with enough grain year after year. Instead of big new investment tax credits, it offers would-be distillery builders loans and loan guarantees totaling $300 million a year for ten years...
...would have been rebelliously out front browbeating the Establishment in waves of dissent that would have continued to expand after the 1960s. Widespread religious fervor would have found a channel in a holy crusade against technology. Assassinations would have been frequent. Unrest would have swept through high schools. A grain glut might have triggered an agricultural depression. A breakdown of the cities would have produced chaos beyond anything ever seen before. Some urban areas would have banned the use of gasoline-powered automobiles. Do-it-yourself facelifts would have been on the market...
