and blocked legislation for other sources of ethanol

Really - do you have proof of this?


That's right. Corn was to be the sole source for ethanol. However, they are starting to realize the mess they have created.....higher corn prices, higher meat prices and a very limited resource [corn] so they are looking at other plant material to create ethanol. BTW it took a Dem. Congress this year to reopen the issue.

"It was a scant two years ago that Georgia's Saxby Chambliss voted with 73 other giddy senators for an energy bill that required the nation to use 7.5 billion gallons of ethanol. Georgia's farmers loved corn-based ethanol; Georgia's agri-businesses loved corn-based ethanol; and all that meant that then-Agriculture Committee Chairman Chambliss loved corn-based ethanol, too."
