Sorry, I had the impression that the original intention was to alleviate use of fossil fuels and simultaneously help out farmers. Instead , it has precipitated food shortages and and financed agribusiness to such an extent that we now have a “corn-ethanol industry.” There is apparently even evidence that ethanol is detrimental to car engines.

Can there be any better example of the devastation wrought by the well-intentioned and ill-informed?
