This whole ethanol scam is based on a massive govt subsidy to encourage the growth of corn.

That is one of the silliest things I have heard in quite some time. If the government is so big on creating a permanently enlarged corn crop, why is so much research going into ways of producing biofuels that do not involve growing crops? Have you noticed that there is an adjective the President uses whenever he mentions ethanol? Do you understand the significance of that adjective?

If you think that's silly you're not informed. Do a little research to find out the level of subsidy for ethanol. Bush talks about other means of producing biofuels but those aren't viable yet. Meantime, our govt has placed import duties on Brazilian sugar based biofuel. Why do you think that is?
