ADM is part of the problem as are the people who get a piece of the corn gravy train from them. If this crap really worked, it would grow sorghum which makes ethanol more cheaply and efficiently than corn.

And it wouldn't need to be subsidized by the other 44 or so states which don't grown corn for ethanol.

The ethanol mandate is not tied to corn. If sorghum was really cheaper to produce ethanol, there is not a reason to use corn instead.

Sorghum (aka milo) is indeed used to produce fuel ethanol in places that are drier (Kansas, California) than most of the Corn Belt. It does not have a price advantage over corn, except in local areas.

There is no mandate to use corn to make fuel ethanol.
