As a car guy, I _LOVE_ ethanol.  106 octane means being able to run  
13:1 compression on the street.  However, the idea of making it from  
corn is a stupid one.  If I was a politician running for office, the  
artificial constraint of a needed grain (wheat/corn) looks awfully  
attractive.  The US is the dominant supplier of these grains, and if  
we keep the supplies artificially low, then we've brokered a position  
of power in the new food economy.

I don't know if our morons running for office can think that far  
ahead, but if they can, I'm sure they're thinking about this.
