“If part of this plan is to find a market for corn so that we can end the ethanol subsidy, then even better. Ending ethanol subsidies would PERMANENTLY free the midwest from any influence from the left.”

I recently toured the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, and there was an exhibit on alternative-fuel cars. An interesting accompanying chart had the cost of using various energy sources with existing technology relative to gasoline. As I recall, only natural gas was cheaper. Ethanol was equivalent to something like $3.40/gal when gasoline was $2.69/gal.

You have no idea how much fresh water ethanol consumes either. It is an ENORMOUS amount. Refining gasoline also requires quite a bit of water too as it turns out, but not like ethanol production.
