Bill,
The huge agricultural corporations realized that they could make more profit "helping relieve" this country's dependence on oil by turning corn into fuel. So their powerful Washington lobbyists got government subsidies to give to these "farmers" to grow corn for fuel. Except, it costs more to make ethanol than gasoline. But, more profits for the big corporations. Now, corn grown for food is not so plentiful so food prices go up. If the lobbyists can get regulations changed to 15% in all gas their production would go up 50% and still more $$. Ain't it great
