just a thought, up to a third of all corn grown in the US is devoted to the silly and wasteful and evironmentally destructive process of biofuels. since an immense proportion of US corn crops are suddenly under water, and will probably be for weeks to come, is this not divine judgement?
"It takes more energy to produce a gallon of ethanol than the ethanol provides, making biofuel the triumph of politics over logic. Congress mandates the use of the alternative fuel, creating a guaranteed market, but rising costs have hammered ethanol stocks. Nevertheless, President Bush wants to increase the use of ethanol so don’t bet on the primates in Asian rainforests."
