If ethanol is such a great idea, why not permit its import instead of subsidizing Archer Daniels Midland to make it out of corn?

First they wanted ethanol, now the enviros don’t because business is benefiting from it.

The president has pushed for ANWR drilling but can he declare an emergency and force the issue over Congress’s head?

I would support that under these circumstances.

The one important part of this whole ethanol nonsense that needs to be said, is not being said.

Right now, the US pays huge subsidies to theoretical farmers to *not* grow crops on their land.

Shouldn’t this practice be stopped immediately, so that we can have *both* food, and their precious ethanol?

"Critics have focused on the new demand for corn as a factor in driving up food prices."

Many FR posters are letting the MSM drive their thinking again. Read the articles, look for the quotes ("). I have been a critic of using corn for ethanol too, but the President long ago called for support for research to produce ethanol from non-food, i.e. waste sources, such as sawgrass, so that food sources would not be used and ethanol would be cheaper to produce.

Do you see the power the MSM has in your life? All of us fall victim to it. They leave out critical information and insert text without quotes in the middle of quoted information. Many MSM writers are graduates of left-wing universities and have been taught by left-wing professors (aka Vietnam era draft dodgers with student and teaching deferments). They hate Bush. They hate FREEPERS. They take their greatest pride in manipulating quotes, texts and photos in order to lead people to the the left-wing supported conclusion. This article mentioned critics of the use of corn for ethanol. Why didn't it mention the President's support for research into non-food ethanol sources? QUESTION MSM MATERIAL! Go to Whitehouse.gov and search the White House positions on topics.

"As you know, I'm a ethanol person," he said,

I thought he quit drinking.

"As you know, I'm a ethanol person," he said, explaining his belief that it can help reduce U.S. dependence on oil. "It makes sense for America to be growing energy."

"As you know, I sniff airplane model glue for a hobby." If Bush had said that, would anyone see the difference?
