I'll take my chances. Our farm is only two miles outside of town. I ride my bike in for supplies when needed. We're pretty self-sufficent, otherwise. ;) (Yes, I know...Ethanol-fueled trucks bring supplies into town, blah, blah, blah...and if that dries up, I'll find another way to get what I need to live...which isn't much these days.)

I'm a free market type. If it's subsidized by the Government because the general population doesn't WANT it anyway, then crammed down our throats by the Legislature...I've found that I generally don't need it in the first place. That's just my little rule of thumb. :)

And just when will the government start subsidizing my laying hens so I can find a way to make fuel from chicken chit? I've got plenty. There's got to be a way! I mean, isn't pig chit supposedly the next Energy Savior? Right behind Ethanol? How much further down the line can chicken chit be as a fuel source? ;)

the legislature in WI was not cramming it down your throats, the incentives were on the producing side, not forcing you to consume. If you don't like it don't buy it. Walk, it matters not.

Whether you care to face it or not gas is never going back to $1.00 or 1.50 per gallon at least not in your lifetime.

For the past 5 years Exxon, BP, Chevron have all produced and delivered less barrels of oil every year. For five years running. The government is trying to do catchup and get any fuel to replace the shortfall.

The marketplace will decide on ethanol especially when they have no gasoline.
