I have been wondering why Rick Perry, the governor of Texas is so opposed to renewable energy.
You will remember this is the same guy that has been out there advocating the the federal government suspend the Renewable Fuels Standard. Apparently he sees value in being even MORE dependent on foreign oil!
If a guy can not see the value of domestic energy during a time that there is $142/barrel oil and skyrocketing costs, when will he ever?
Well, it made sense to me when I read this story from the Associated Press. The following quote stuck out to me:
“Lonnie “Bo” Pilgrim, CEO of chicken producer Pilgrim’s Pride Corp., told the EPA his company bought more than 320 million bushels of corn and the about 133 million bushels of soybeans for soybean meal last year, about 5.2 percent of the nation’s corn used for animal feed and 7.2 percent of the soybean meal that is produced.
Pilgrim is a top donor to Perry. Pilgrim contributed $216,500 to Perry’s campaign from 2004-2007, according to Texans for Public Justice.”

Makes a person wonder…
How often does Pilgrims Pride Perry and Bo Pilgrim talk?
Have they ever talked about the RFS waiver?
Did Bo Pilgrim ask Pilgrims Pride Perry to advocate for the end of renewable fuels?
Sure would be interesting to see Pilgrims Pride Perry’s schedule, emails or phone records.
Might be interesting what they show…
