Ethanol Driving Pump, Narrowing of Refining Margin

Dear Amit,

Are you also in favor of more air polution?

Where I live, gasoline mixed 90/10 with ethanol is less expensive than pure gas. My car gets just the same miles per gallon with either one.

Please explain again how ethanol has pushed oil up to $120/barrel.

Our government also spends our money on subsidies to tobaco farmers. Why not switch those fields to producing food.

The Case Against Ethanol

Bashing liberals and fainting sympethy for the worlds poor and hungry all in the same article, Wow. I do not feel it is my duty as a US tax payer to feed the worlds poor. The $3 billion dollars the US spent last year developing a new industry, Ethanol saved the tax payer $8 billon in farm subsidies. Twice the World Trade Organization ruled that the US farm subsidies undercut agriculture around the world. Farmers in Mexico cannot grow corn for $1.80/bushel. Now they are getting their way, I hope they like it. In the US we spend a smaller percentage of our income on food than almost any country in the world. And more Americans than ever are obese. And good luck feeding the worlds poor, that has more to do with political corruption than the price of corn in Iowa. Do you think the poeple in bangledesh can afford to buy corn from Iowa and have it shipped to them?
