The obsession over ethanol needs to end. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about it. And lots of bad.
Absolutely right. Depleting aquifers, interrupting market prices, government pork, destroying a big chunk of the gulf with algae, denying low-cost food to the rest of the world, burning a BTU of oil to make a BTU of ethanol. You name it.
Hopefully the Iowa hog farmers lobby will reduce the power of the Iowa corn farmers lobby and bring some sanity back into the feed market.
