[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 760136, member: 6897"] Not blaming ethanol for everything. Just think there are better raw materials for production of is than anything already needed to feed people. (and animals). As for "lost energy"....we trade off energy (corn) for protein.. in this case meat. $3.50 is a fair price for corn but $5.00 was nothing but speculators in the market in the same way they pushed crude oil to all time highs...that then pushed nitrogen cost thru the roof which was followed by phos. and potash. Phos is now half what it was a year or so ago. We had farmers still sitting on million of bushels of corn as they turned down $5.40 waiting on $6.40 which never happened. But...back to ethanol....anything that will ferment will make the stuff..every moonshiner in the world knows that. Instead of subsidizing corn for use in ethanol the money could be used to continue more and more research in alternatives. [/QUOTE]
