Secondly, I don't know enough about it to know how much a person's food bill will go up. You would think if suddenly corn and beets were what we were using to make gas, gas companies might turn to farming to raise those things. There may be enough of increase in production that food won't go up in price that much.
Any change won't be fast, cheap or easy, but I think it is something we as a nation need to do if we want to continue to thrive.

Listen dipshit corn is being used NOW as in NOW as in TODAY. And food prices are increasing because of it. If every scrap of available farmland was used for corn prodcution and that corn was used for fuel only it still wouldn't be enough. Which part of that don't you get? I'm trying to educate you. You already admit you don't know shit so take the words from someone who has actually studied this and done the research ok?
And ethonal isn't any cheaper anyways. Sure it's cheper by the gallon by you get less gas milage so in the end it's still costing you $3 a gallon. Except then milk is $8 a gallon and eggs are $4 a dozen and maybe a pound of cheap ass ground beef is $3.
99% of everyone that owns a SUV or pick-up doesn't need it. If they went back to buying regular cars we'd solve most of our oil problem right there. I see all kinds of idiots that own pick-ups that never ever haul shit in it. Which is the whole fucking purpose of a god damned pick up truck.
