I love the name calling. I guess that I would be a neo-con. We don’t all drive Hummer h3s or fly around the world in our private jets (Al Gore) I think the main reason that farmers are switching from food crops to fuel crops is that it is subsidized by the government. This has brought us to the point of importing wheat for the first time because farmers are switching to corn to put in our fuel tanks. Oil has a huge supply and is way more efficient than ethanol, and as it is now coming out, does less to pollute the environment. I agree that we will eventually need to switch away from petrol base energy, but the free market will do it better and without squashing as many people as the government can. The government is NENER the answer. Ever.
