Except perhaps Kansas and/or Nebraska. This shit is more expensive to produce, causes more pollution than regular fossil fuels and there is now way it can
make us "energy independent".

well supposedly not all ethanols are created equal
Brazil produces it more cheaply from sugar, and I guess switchgrass might be a better North American plant than corn. |

Economic realities would have us buying the shit from Brazil anyway.
Corn is killing this country. |

Corn feeds all the animals that we eat, corn is used for a lot of things besides ethanol, Corn rules.
In the event of a nuclear attack, where would you want to live??? You can't eat money...Nebraska/Iowa/Kansas has all the fucking food. |

I don't like how corn does not always digest.

But, hey......our farmers are set up to grow corn..so why fuck with them?
I mean shit.....it's go so many benefits: 1. Tastes great 2. Needs to be replanted every year....there is big money in engineered seed. 3. Sucks so many nutrients out of the soil that it's responsible for a multi-billion dollar fertilizer industry. That's a lot of jobs. 4. It's 'murican and that is fucking good enough for me. |

I ate a corn dog yesterday. Six, actually. Mmmmm!
This ethanol bullshit is an excellent example of why our system of government does not work. The agricultural industry receives billions of dollars in subsidies from the government, then uses the money to lobby the government to pass more laws that favor their industry. Then they'll make even more money, so they can lobby for more laws. Taxpayers and consumers just sit there helpless, with no real voice. Teachers do the same thing. And old people. Our system works when business and government are at odds with each other, and each acts as a check on the power of the other. Currently, government and big business are working together, hand in hand, to take money from small businesses and individuals and shift it to government and big business. |

He's right, you know.
I read somewhere that fucking with the Sucrose lobby is political suicide. |
