Good find. Unusually sane and sensible for a NYT editorial.

Somewhere just over the rainbow is a mythical solution to our energy needs. It is only just out of our grasp.
I don't know what it is, but it will be clean, leave no carbon footprint, cost little, will not affect commodity prices, need no government subsidy, and will be loved by all the children of the world. Imagine a spring time field of wildflowers.
However, until this heavenly source emerges we gotta get off our collective a$$es and exploit the energy technologies we know will work.

The time has come for Congress to rethink ethanol... it is time to end an outdated tax break for corn ethanol and to call a timeout in the fivefold increase in ethanol production mandated in the 2007 energy bill. Oops. - Seamless 180 degree turn on ethanol while still trying to push the fatally flawed agenda in the same breath.
This does not mean that Congress should give up ...
Yeah. Until the next fiasco resulting from meaningless and ill conceived government intervention into a sector that is working fine without them.

That’s what will happen if the American people are smart enough to elect a Democrat as president this November. On the day after inauguration, the President will reach into the top drawer in his desk in the oval office and take out the magic wand sitting there and then wave it around (Bush was too dumb to know how to use it) and all of the world’s problems will be solved.
But only if a Democrat is elected.

Like old Clint Eastwood said in that movie with the ape, Hang on to your ass, Fred. The ethanol plants are beginning to close. Several of them have gone belly up in the last month, and more are expected to.
It will seek its own level.

Gotta hand to those boys, they’re quick on the uptake.
Someone ought to tell them that the guy running in front of the crowd isn’t always a leader. They might be chasing him.

‘Ending the tax subsidy should be easy.’ Does a tin foil hat statement like that really need a comment?
To: The_Republican
some members of Congress are showing buyers remorse. One reason is the worldwide spike in food prices. That has been driven largely by a huge increase in demand and rising energy costs. The diversion of American corn from food to fuel about one-fourth of the crop has not helped. Aw.. let the hungry live on MTBE. The environmentalists and Nytimen have oceans of it left over from THEIR LAST STUPID AIR HEAD MACHINATION!
When are Americans going to make good use of all those beautiful lamp posts?

What it does mean is that some biofuels are (or are likely to be) better than others, and that Congress should realign its tax and subsidy programs to encourage the good ones. Socialism and central planning always fails.
