good article. Imagine what would happen to the economy if we actually used this shit. Not good for the war monger crowd though. They would rather send peoples sons and daughters to die for oil to keep the top 1% pockets lined.
You are missing the entire point behind corn ethanol. They only want to use corn, because the farmers lobby is pushing for it. It's nothing more than a scam and any politician whom pushes it is part of the scam and is getting money from the farmers lobbyist to fuck over the American citizens.

Corn ethanol is one of the worst ethanol's that could be used to create gas.
It's expensive to produce and gets less mileage than gas does now. There are several other ethanol's that can already be produced and would be cheaper than corn ethanol yet they get ignored because the farm lobby is pushing corn.
