Valery's posting is quite interesting. The proof is not in the rhetoric
but in the reality including the USDA's positions on import/export and
crop subsidy programs in addition to its position with regards to energy
including carbon based fuels. The speech would be a little more meaningful
if it was accompanied by clear policy statements and positions.

If one reads the report issued on the president's council on
sustainability, one will see that it too os . as Shkespeare said, full of
sound and fury and very little of the latter.
