Opposition to Ethanol!

It had to happen 2 days after I make a bold prediction for the future. I am really not surprised considering how many times I have been caught with my foot in the mouth in the past few years.

Apparently, ethanol has a growing list of enemies. Livestock farmers who have been affected by the rising prices of corn, solar and wind energy protagonists who think that ethanol enjoys an unfair advantage in the alternative energy market and the environmentalists who think that the massive production of corn is damaging the environment. Their biggest complaint; the Bush administration is not letting free market forces decide the best alternative source of energy. So these anti-ethanol forces are getting together to eliminate the subsidies on US made ethanol and the tariffs placed on imported Brazilian ethanol.
