Let’s see.

Corn: Made in Kansas.

Oil: Made in Saudi Arabia.

Tough choice...

Oil:
Made in Canada, USA, Mexico (60%)
Ethanol - funded by taxpayers and corruption

Choice is easy.

False “choice.” You forgot sugar cane: can be grown in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and probably some other places in the US I haven’t thought of. Tough choice? Nope.

I don’t think you’ve read the article or numerous other studies. It takes MORE fuel to make corn ethanol than it produces. That’s even before you discover that 10% ethanol mix gets worse mileage. Plus it leads to more water in the gas tank and more engine damage. Plus it screws up lawn mowers, chain saws, and small engines. Plus it starves people in the third world and makes it much more expensive to feed American livestock.

I agree with cutting down on oil imports, but this doesn’t cut a thing. It needs MORE imports to mess things up.

Corn grow in Kansas using machines... that use more oil, made in Saudi Arabia, than the corn replaces.

Tough choice is right.

Oil is also available of both coast, the Gulf of Mexico, Arctic Ocean, Bearing Sea, Alaska's North Slope, the oil shale and tar sands of mid North America for certain and probably many other places as well. Your are right , easy choice.
