We exporting huge amounts of oil currently and frack more than enough to meet our needs and that of others. We do not need ethanol to meet fuel needs, We have ethanol because farmers demand it through lobby groups. I'll take more CRP and slightly higher gas prices. The price of Chicken and Beef are of little concern to me as 80% plus of the meat I consume I shoot myself. The ethanol program is huge welfare program and a terrible use of land in addition to putting an incredible amount of nitrates in to the Gulf and increasing the dead zone there. Nothing more than a subsidy for poor environmental practices, not to mention it makes my truck run like crap.
