That's a lot of cotton, winter wheat, cows, sugar beets, sorghum, and other edibles not getting watered.<br /><br />LittleRed1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-81089477650899555482016-01-20T15:45:36.217-05:002016-01-20T15:45:36.217-05:00I'm also fed up with having to pay inflated fo...I'm also fed up with having to pay inflated food prices from the diversion of food to ethanol brewing. It's not just corn, either. Ethanol production raises the price of corn substitutes and of food that eats corn and corn substitutes.<br /><br />Ethanol production also has--gasp!--an enormous carbon footprint, beginning with the conversion of acres of land to corn production on through the energy demands of ethanol brewing.<br /><br />Of course, regarding our poor, artificially expensive food is just another means for Government to maintain their dependency--and their votes--on Government handouts.<br /><br />Eric HinesE Hineshttp://aplebessite.comnoreply@blogger.com
