What was the cost to grow corn back then, and what does it take to grow corn today?
If ethanol was primarily used to reduce dependence on oil, we'd buy direct from Brazil.
If we wish to subsidize ethanol, let's also start programs to boost conservation. Ignoring conservation and going with ethanol is like letting a fat man eat as much diet food as he wishes, while foregoing a diet, the action netting the greatest benefit.
