More bio-fuels bull

GREAT news for motorists, I don't think! An expert has declared that bio-fuels could be a profitable industry if the price per litre was above R10. No prizes for guessing that the source of this wisdom was an economist. No prize either for guessing that the forum in which he was speaking consisted of a bunch of maize farmers. And here is the kisser: "For the bio-fuels industry to become a viable business, that will encourage investments, government needs to implement legislation that will help push petrol prices higher than these levels," he said. Hooray.
