Nice post!

If our elected officials were serious about ethanol they would remove the Brazilian tariffs. There is no way in HE$$ any rational person could argue that this country is serious about using ethanol when protectionist tariffs are used to stifle competition. Take off the tariffs and people might start to believe this isn't the big taxpayer ripoff that it so clearly is.

I do notice that you seem to be more objective than I am on the subject. I do believe ethanol has a place in our energy future. There is nothing postive I can find about generating it from corn at huge taxpayer expense when we could import it so cheaply from friendly countries, countries who would use our dollars to stimulate their economies instead of trying to destroy us. What is happening now is insane.
