While Environmentalists of today like Al Gore scare me half to death, I am more bothered by people who don't do their Homework, as Dr. Williams has done, once again. Inflation drives up prices. That is printing of extra War money for the most part, that and social programs and corporate welfare. Farmers planted 19+ million more acres of corn last season and only used 11 million for Ethanol. That is not all, the left overs after distillation would feed 307 million people 4 ounces of protein a day, 6 days a week.Total corn ethanol acreage is only on 1/7 of prime cropland used for corn in the U.S. about 1/3 of total prime cropland. Read this, follow the links,, and get educated with facts, not Oil company propaganda. CATO and REASON are going to have to start telling us where they get their funding, so that we know who is buttering author's bread.
