Same old BS!
Who eats 450# of feed-corn per year? The sky is falling! Ethanol will kill us all!
Brazil is magic, we can't do what they have done. The highly profitable ethanol plants only run on government dollars. Why invest in alternative fuels now when we can keep giving Oil barons our money and trust them to wean us off of their product. The status quo cannot be improved in my lifetime, I'll fight progress away from petroleum till I die. Make my kids drink MTBE, anything but natural safe renewable bio-fuel.

I have no problem with fuel from biomass, waste, switchgrass, etc.

Apparently you didn’t read the article.
He was making an analogy. Of course nobody eats only corn.
IF we were drilling our own oil and refining it the prices of oil and gas would be far lower and your so called oil barrons would not be making the billions they are now.
If your agenda was not in the way you would see that ethanol is not the replacement for oil.

If you believe that ethanol is a good idea then you are truly an uninformed fool who would be better suited for DU.
Everything stated in that article is absolutely spot on. If you don't believe it then try doing a modicum of research...that is if reasoning is not beyond your capacity...otherwise drink the BLUE Kool-aid and you will awaken in your dreamworld where energy can be created by magic machines and using a food source to burn for fuel is a rational concept.

The cattle, poultry, & hogs that become the meat on your table, assuming you are not a vegan.

God gave us a great, practical energy source, oil. Many are simply too ingrateful to appreciate this.
