The corn myth is BS. Corn processed for human food here in Iowa is not affected at all by the Ethanol industry. The Farm Lobby is debunking Oil Lobby myths. Good. I think independence from Middle East oil is a matter of our survival. I think we need to kill OPEC, while we still can. Pay the world's farmers, not the terror-funding Saudis. We are out of time. Where the cheapest bio-fuel comes from doesn't matter: * Ethanol from American/Canadian/Mexican farms. * Ethanol from Brazil, without the 50% US tariff hit. * Ethanol made from tariff-free imported sugar. * Methanol made from farm remainders, wood chips, coal, natural gas, old tires, anything. I think Congress should pass a law, right now, mandating that all new cars sold in the U.S. be methanol-standard flex-fuel vehicles. That gives filling stations a demand incentive to supply E85 now and methanol soon. That gives consumers a choice of ethanol/methanol/gasoline. The U.S. is beyond broke. However... If there has to be a tax-subsidized floor under the price of bio-fuels, so be it. Better that than addiction to OPEC oil. You're closer to the ethanol scene, JM. How far will economies-of-scale bring down ethanol production costs?
