If we don't have enough corn for food, how are we now suppose to split this limited, non renewing resource between petro and food?

A system to deal with that problem was set up some centuries ago.

It's called capitalism.

Then why does the government need to tax and mandate ethanol?

If people wanted it, capitalism would provide it.
