Well, I'm not jumping ship. But anyone who has looked objectively into this matter will realize that corn-ethanol is inefficient and it drives up the cost of every other food product related to corn (which is almost all of them). We should all know as well that the corn-ethanol lobby has been successful for years at holding the rated per-barrel cost of oil at an artificial level to maximize their subsidies. This is all a matter of record. To ignore this and plunge ahead with glowing endorsements reveals a very politically pragmatic side of Obama that I don't like.
And you can call ethanol a minor issue. But I think heric had it right in his above post. If this is an example, the Change we may get could be pocket change after all.
