How stupid is the media and how stupid do they think *you* are?
Headline: "Biotechs try to take corn out of ethanol"
They claim: "The ethanol craze is putting the squeeze on corn supplies and causing food prices to rise."
Ethanol can be made out of *anything* that contains starch or sugar: rice, potatoes, sugar beets, apples, pears, wheat, rye, etc. There's even a plant called "comfrey" that contains significantly more starch than corn and is easily converted into alcohol. Corn isn't the only thing can be used to create ethanol.
And before you screaming liberals start up with your insults, let me tell you how I know. Back in 1979 (before you were born, kiddies) there was a gas shortage. I lived in Washington. I converted my car to alcohol fuel. I used discarded apples and grew comfrey to create plenty of ethanol to run my car.
Ethanol can be created without corn. So conservatives...don't worry. Libs...start panicking.
