Corn Based Ethanol Is Not The Solution
As the price of oil continues to rise, there are a number of solutions that are slowly being put in place. In my humble opinion, corn based ethanol is not the solution. If we are going to have an ethanol solution it will have to be a cellulosic one. I do not want my energy supply competing with my food supply. Especially not with the farmers can make much more selling corn as ethanol than as food. Plus corn is a terrible crop for other reasons.

I’ve been reading _The Omnivore’s Dilemma_, and the first quarter book is all about corn, corn, corn. While I’m not crazy about everything the guy says, I certainly agree with your thoughts on corn-based ethanol.
(It also makes me want to keep going to farmer’s markets.)
