On this I agree with you.
All government promoted ethanol subsidies have done is get votes in Iowa—especially this time of year every four years—ruin my small engines, and caused the price of meat to skyrocket.
Corn is food—for humans and animals—not fuel.
We need to drill, baby, drill!
If the government wants to throw our money around promoting anything energy related, let them help Detroit convert gas engines to natural gas and help fast track the building NG fueling stations.
The USA is the Saudi Arabia of natural gas.
We should be burning straight gasoline and send the sum total of all our ethanol production to moslem countries, so the murdering rapists are all too drunk to commit acts of terrorism.
Once they are all totally addicted alcoholics....cut them off.
Let them grow corn and produce their own booze.(just to accelerate the evolution of civilization a little bit.)
