Heating with corn breitbart.com "Corn-generated heat costs less than a fifth of the current rate for propane and about a third of electrical heat, according to Haefner. Homeowners report savings of anywhere from 600 to 1,500 dollars a year, he said." This has got to be the effect of farm subsidies. As long as corn is grown with massive input of oil (plowing/harvesting, pesticides, fertilizer), this is not a solution to expensive energy. If all you really want is fuel to burn, the long-term solution is reforestation. While the cost of energy is technically distinct from credit bubbles, in the present bubble it risks making the fall higher. Kailash
