Today, according to the USDA, ethanol accounts for roughly 6.6 percent of total transport fuel consumption, but consumes about 40 percent of the U.S. corn supply.

We're using topsoil as fuel, the dumbest environmental policy in American history.

Government mandates are a lousy idea; however, ethanol doesn't "consume" 40% of the US corn crop.

Corn used as an ethanol feedstock is also used as animal feed.
