Re: Of ethonal, hyrbids etc.

The only farmers in America that receive more subsidies than the corn farmers are the sugar farmers.

US sugar production is not 'world competitive'.

As it stands, ethanol made from corn uses more energy than it allegedly saves in gasoline. The process actually increases the amount of green house gases produced.

Ethanol is a massive agricultural subsidy program. It is not a smart enviornmental policy and it is not a smart energy policy.
