More on Ethanol

The other day, as part of an attack on Democrats' "energy" bill, I noted some of the weaknesses of emphasizing ethanol. I'm not the only one who feels that way. I wonder how many environmentally-concerned citizens (mostly Democrats) realize that their embrace of ethanol may be raising the price of food (and ironically fuel) for their fellow citizens - most notably the middle class they so often worry about; it should go without saying that the impact would be even more pronounced in the developing world.
