If Iowa wasn't first on the campaign trail Ethanol wouldn't be a campaign issue. Pretty disgusting.

Ethanol hasn’t been a campaign issue I can think of. Fuel ethanol grew out of the Arab oil boycotts in the ‘70s as a national security issue, with ‘peak oil’ theories to back it up.

It has stuck around partly because fuel ethanol subsidizes cheap pork, chicken and eggs.
