Frankly, I'd doubt any American broadcaster would have the nerve to say the following with cameras rolling and microphones switched on

Absolutely must-see video available here, transcript follows

The ethanol craze grew out of alarmism and the deep desire of governments, especially here in North America and Europe, to be seen as green. Now, it's clear that growing corn to make ethanol not only takes more energy to produce than it saves on the other end, but the subsidies, particularly in the States and Europe, for such production is one of the factors driving an international food crisis that, as always, is hardest on the poorest people of the world.

I watched the vid and was shocked, I didn't think anyone would say the things he did on TV. I believe he could be in great danger for sometime. What he said will cause many "Global Warming Nuts" to go over the edge. He is a very brave person to state to truth, mybe freedom of speech isn't dead.
