However, I'm having a hard time finding out the true cost of ethanol from corn once the parade of government subsidies has been excluded. BTW, that's a hell of a profit they're making between production and the gas tank - even the EU supply with all those crazy labor laws and universal health care still leaves room for a healthy profit at today's gas prices. Why does our ONLY option also have the highest profit margin?

Additionally, I'm confused about your parable - am I supposed to fall in with the "ethanol at any cost" crowd because it *may* take a while longer to develop alternatives? The roadblocks to any alternative energy choice are in Congress, the WH, as well as the businesses and lobbyists that benefit from high energy/raw material's costs in both fuel supply and production.

We have plenty of alternatives to ethanol from corn, just not enough money or influence behind them. It's time to change far more than the occupant of the WH. The corruption of Congress has risen to a level where they now only work for the corporations. The extreme greed has become unhealthy for everyone and isn't even any longer in the best interests of the corporations themselves. They would just as soon kill and eat the golden goose as look at it.
