actually distillation of corn into ethanol leaves byproduct that can be used for feed so at least the price of pork wont go up... bu i agree that ethanol is by far the worst possible solution.

if we were to switch 100% to ethanol, we dont even have enough acreage to grow enough corn to cover current needs. not to mention we still need place to grow food, so we'll just end up importing corn, so the fuel wont be really that cheap, food prices will skyrocket cause farmers will grow whatever makes the most money, not to mention the billions upon billions required to change the infrastructure.
