The whole biofuels issue is a pretty bad idea, IMO. (A little off topic) The use of ethanol, for example, has put a huge crunch on the availability of corn and driven the price of corn up without providing much value. Here in the southwest, there are corn crops dying in the field due to the excessive amount of rainfall, something that will likely affect the overall price of gasoline that will have a negative impact on the price of gas - again, another law of unintended consequences kind of thing.
Apparently, it is more important for our political elites to give the appearance of doing something rather than actually doing something!!!
Ethanol boom may fuel shortage of tequila
Mexican farmers switching to corn could create tequila shortage
This time, it really is Bush's fault...
