Ethanol.
Thank you, John McCain and Tim Pawlenty.
Thank you, very little.
One glaring error of the ethanol scam is that they insisted ethanol be made of corn. Ethanol can be made from anything with carbon. A multi-million dollar corn ethanol plant is under construction down the road from me (North Carolina, and I believe gifted to a foreigner). In this sandy soil we have poor corn yields. Around here they should have considered making ethanol out of kudzo. In the southwest they should make it out of cactus. In Florida ethanol should be made from swamp moss. Around Maryland they should make it out of democraps. Ethanol did not even get regional consideration. Just another Homeland Security fraud.
