There are better

uses for ethanol

than as fuel.

Yep, it’s a boondoggle.

using corn for ethanol

I was surprised that there was no corn on any menu in Ocean City, MD, last week. It used to be a staple food to go with seafood at all the good restaurants. Green beans were served in their place, and I hate crunchy green beans.

I agree that the ethanol thing is idiotic but the corn only displaced soybeans and cotton for the most part.

That's definitely part of the problem. Ethanol is a boondoggle that sends tax money to large grain companies. Biodiesel from non-food plants makes sense, ethanol from grains is no energy gain and it drives up food costs.

How do you figure the price of corn affects the price of navel oranges, apples, dried beans and white bread?
