The Seattle Times just published my letter to the editor in which I stressed
the point that increased ethanol production is likely to severely/negatively
impact our soil quality:

(third article down; note how scary others sound, especially the nuclear
advocate who conveniently overlooks nuclear's [huge] shortcomings)
I'm not much of a writer, but if I can do this then so should others here.
If we don't speak out in defense of the soil, who will?
NOTE: In my submission to the Seattle Times I complained about only having
200 words with which to work with: I can't say a single word without saying
five! Anyway, they were cordial and asked if I wanted to write an op-ed.
Well, this would be a first for me. Never afraid to look like a fool (and
being inspired by this group [which has made me less of a fool]) I figured
I'd accept the offer. If it gets published I'll let everyone here know.
