Some of us know this stuff, but it comes as a shock to those outside the corn belt.
They don't understand how ethanol evolved, how it works, how it's keeping the overall price of motor fuel down, how much high-protien feed is produced from an ethanol plant, that tax subsidies ended on ethanol, that world ecconomies creating a weak dollar is the reason food prices and corn price has shot up. That big oil secretly loves ethanol because they can use cheaper low octane crudes to mix with the ethanol and make good profits on what would have been low-value crudes.
They don't know that we are actually exporting corn ethanol to Brazil because their sugar cane can't keep up with their demand, and we can produce the ethanol cheaper from corn than they can from cane.
