Corn and biofuel are an interesting debate... The overwhelming majority of the educated/scholarly community agrees that global warming is happening..

There ecological benefits of the cleaner air from ethanol are tainted with the higher cost to produce ethanol when compared to gasoline, the effects on farmland listed in the article and also the overlooked impact which is an overall increase in the cost of food which impacts poor and lower income societal members.

Who? The liberal based media? Biofuels are a crock of shite, just look at what ethanol does to small engines. I also get better gas mileage when I run 100% gasoline. The gains don't outweigh the losses you get manufacturing biofuels IMO. Its just a way to make the hippies happy.
