Uh, no it doesn't bub.
If you want to "cut" the ragheads out of the equation, drill for oil here.
oil companies are not the friends of
America or of the Conservative movement.

ethanol cuts the oil companies and the ragheads

I hate shopping at BP and Exxon, I will not shop at Citgo because that is Chavez’s company even tho they have the lowest prices.
BTW, I am for both domestic drilling and for corn used for ethanol. I saw a windmill farm in Iowa and support that too (imprortant distinction—not in place of oil or ethanol, in addition).
IMHO, As long as the production and dollars stay in US. it is goo—for our national and the local farm economy. We need to produce our own energy—more the better thru the more sources the better—that way if we are attacked by terrorists, we have alternative sources—be they ethanol, wind, oil, solar, etc. Again, I support all sources including domestic oil drilling, by well, by plattorm off coast and with theh new shale horizontal drill technologies in the the Plains States like the Dakotas.
IMHO, We need to keep the dollars here in US—thru drilling and planting, and developing cost effective alternatives—
For the farmers, there is way to much crop price fluctuation. Until recently when ethanol was used for fuel additive, there was some concern that US was going to lose the ability to put food on it’s tables because farmers could not make a decent living—remember the farm auctions of the 80s and early 90s? Many farmer’s kids have been leaving the business. IMHO, Last thing US needs is to lose land allocated to agricultural production whether it is for food or fuel. It is US dollars staying in US. I think that is good. US doesn’t need its farmers going out of business.
Sadly most people don’t understand the importance of the Ag sector in this country—for national security, for food supply, and fuel development as well. Sadly farmers are at the mercy of the weather, too bad they are at the mercy of politicians as well.
The more self-sufficient we can become as a nation and as individuals, the better! That means domestic drilling, domestic crop production (for any and all purposes), and domestic energy production.
