Very true. Yeah the whole corn to fuel is really weird. Why not just use oil? I know it was the Democrats who screwed that up like they screw up everything they touch.

Scientifically speaking, oil can be refined into gasoline only blends that are more efficient, contain more BTUs, are less polluting and much less damaging to gasoline engines and modern pollution control equipment overall, than ethanol blended fuels and boutique blended fuels. More miles, less pollution and lower price.

As for the corn crop necessary for ethanol, Latino cultures and nations pay noticeably higher staple corn prices because of the reduced corn supply. Switching Iowa to food corn production would help to lower that commodity price, Iowa is highly productive. However, I do not know if Iowa would receive as much as for the subsidized fuel crop.
