You're giving a false set of choices that it's either support grain-based ethanol or support the middle East.

Here's some options: drop grain-based ethanol and drill for domestic fossil fuels, build nukes, for starters.

Grain-based ethanol will decrease in popularity soon enough; long-term it is just too expensive. I'm all for nukes and domestic drilling...but the problem is you need to have a lot of Americans behind you that are willing to talk to their elected representatives....and what are the odds of that happening?

I have no problem with building nuke plants and domestic drilling; they would be a critical component to moving to biofuels. Saying we need to give them up is also a false choice.
