Why do people blame “liberals” for everything?  Just asking.

Corn ethanol isn’t a creation of the ecology lobby, it’s a creature of Big Agriculture.  The major beneficiaries are corn farmers and Archer Daniels Midland, which is why candidates for president have to swear to support ethanol to get anywhere in the Iowa caucuses.

(Now that corn prices have doubled, there is the backlash from livestock farmers that I predicted.)
