I hesitate to get into these conversations as they tend to get pretty partison, but I was just watching cable news, and they were saying part of the reason that the prices were going up was a shortage of corn to make ethanal. That is pure BS. We've got a glut of corn here in the midwest, and the price per bushel tend to drop, rather than rise. I've got 3/4s of a million bushels just up the road from me waiting for the prices to go up so farmers can get a little profit.
Now there maybe a shortage of conversion plants, but that's not what they said.
Be you Democrat, or Republican, this country needs to have a plan, like Kennedy stated,"A man on the moon in ten years" to do the same with energy independence. We could, and should me self sufficient in less than ten years. It's not just a matter of filling up your car, it's a matter of national security. To not address this issue with that degree of importanence, is pure incompetence.
Anyway, on the issue of a corn shortage, someone is lying. Again
