Very interesting. What I don't understand, though, is why in hell does the US impose a tariff on imported ethanol, but not on imported oil? The fundamental problem with this country is that the playing field is uneven. Oil gets all sorts of tax breaks and incentives and no tariffs and ethanol and other alternatives get no significant incentives and tariffs for imports. What a freaking joke. If I were President, I would spend all of my time like Al Gore, galvanizing this country to get off of oil for national security, for our economy, and for the environment. And I'd do everything in my power to not just get rid of oil incentives, but to tax the shit out of oil and give hundreds of billions to incentives up and down the supply chain and to consumers for use of alternatives. We need to bust this oil oligarchy once and for all. There can be no clearer moral, security, and economic imperative. Why don't our leaders get that? I feel like Bush does minor things, but nothing big in this area. That article is an excellent start, but it's just like Bush. All starts and no finishing touches.
