FFA Says Ditch Fossil Fuel For Bio Fuel

Time to ditch 75% of Fossil Fuel for Bio Fuel says the Farmers For Action group

Farmers For Action’s Steering Committee (FFA) say it’s time for Ireland and the UK to ditch 75% of fossil fuel for Bio-fuel, thereby preventing rogue regimes and fossil fuel giants holding us to ransom. 

In addition, the FFA says if this was rolled out across the world it would solve accelerated climate change overnight. 

Time for the politicians across these islands to step up and be first, to show the world how to do it successfully!

William Taylor, FFA said: “FFA are calling for Ireland and UK to introduce a Farm Welfare Bill to have farmers paid a minimum of the true cost of production inflation linked plus a margin for their produce, then family farmers can stabilise the food supply and produce bio fuel where suitable.

“Obviously we would have to import the shortfall from countries such as Brazil where for example their petrol cars have been running on ethanol since the 1970’s. 

“It is absurd that the EU Mercusor Deal is now progressing towards importing more Brazilian beef which we don’t need as opposed to bio fuel. 

“It is time for real politicians with a love for their country to step forward and be voted in as opposed to corporate puppet politicians currently in high office in too many cases. 

“FFA want to make clear that carbon taxes are a total fabrication and will never ever do anything to halt accelerated climate change and call on people to do everything they can to discredit this nonsense.”

Mr Taylor added: “Meanwhile, it is time for family farmers to pressurise their processors whom they are supplying, for a huge farm gate price increase, where appropriate, rather than pressurising their agricultural contractor.

“Don’t forget your contractors – are the people who very much supported FFA’s NI 6 weekly protests at Tesco earlier this year. 

“FFA’s Steering Committee wants to make clear the problems family farmers and SME’s currently have with fuel costs rising, inflation rising, inheritance tax and increased taxation all round are the fault of the Governments across these islands not acting in the interests of farmers, small and medium sized businesses and working people who keep our countries afloat.

“They are currently being treated as money trees – being suppressed and not allowed to contribute effectively  and make their countries profitable as they would love to do.

“JFK once stated ‘And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country’ – this should be FFA’s and everyone’s message to our politicians – ‘Ask not what your country can do for you – prove to us what you can do for your country otherwise we are not going to vote for you!’ in the coming elections in 2027.”
