Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Cuba's ailing leader, Fidel Castro, have repeatedly attacked Bush's proposal to promote the hemisphere-wide production of ethanol from crops such as corn and sugar. They decry the idea as "crazy, " "sinister, " "tragic" and even a threat to the human species. To a degree, they are right......we can't produce enough corn for ethanol to make a dent in oil consumption. To some degree I can understand Castro's upset, but why Chavez is upset is beyond me. After all, he benefits when we are short of oil.
