Americans suffer when major oil companies put taxpayer money to unintended uses

I have just returned from giving an invited talk at the sixth ICIS World Oleochemicals Conference at Brussels. This conference was the most impressive and exclusive industrial representation of major world players in biodiesel and chemicals from fats and oils that has met to date. I am inspired to write this editorial because the stupidity of U.S. policy has risen to new levels that even amazes my hardened soul on this topic. The people of Missouri need to know the results of our government policies.
