The United States’ ill-considered bio-fuels subsidy program demonstrates how not to react. Rather than acknowledge that high fuel prices are the best way to inspire energy conservation and innovation, the Bush administration has instituted huge subsidies to American farmers to grow grains for bio-fuel production.
美国生物燃料补贴项目不得其法，正好表明了错误的应对办法。布什政府不仅不承认高昂的燃料价格是促进节能和能源创新的最佳途径，反倒为美国的农民提供巨额补贴用于种植生物燃料生产的作物。他们从来都不考虑这在用水和用地上都是极为没有效率的。
