corn ethanol never was about energy

Precisely. Politicians saw an opportunity to pretend to deal with the energy crisis while simultaneously lining the pockets of large agri-business supporters.

As a result we got more expensive food and zip improvement in our energy picture. But the corporate campaign donations sure increased!

Our corn ethanol "energy program" required a truly special level of hypocrisy.
