Of course they could grow non-food stocks to make biofuels but all of that would be cheaper at the market and less certain to get subsidies.

It's a mess because the party needs Iowa for electoral math so we can't piss off the corn growers who now make more off corn growers even though it fucks with food supply and costs, I guess worldwide and other plants probably yield better.

Bahhhhhh

We can't actually do the simplest and most common sense stuff. This incarnation of a government doesn't work, we need at least a reboot.
