except it is primarily over biodiesel instead of ethanol. Money talks.

In the end, it all comes down to biodiversity. Poison Darts--Protecting the biodiversity of our world

Look at the body language! The cup on the napkin is her comfort blanket - she is as uncomfortable as hell.

And biofuels from animal fat! That'll be interesting when fuel pumps have to be labelled "suitable for vegetarians".

Just watching fatigued Hillary gives me Hillary fatigue.  Iowa ethanol bad, NY ethanol good.  Good NY ethanol make Iowa ethanol good.  

Hmmm... there is some slick willary.  

When you want to become leader of a banana republic, feed people bananas!  Everybody like bananas!  Green bananas!

Corn Ethanol is a bad thing for the environment, a bad thing for the fight against Global warming, and a bad thing for America.  

Ethanol may not be a bad thing, but the cost and lack of efficiencies using corn as a basis for ethanol production is akin to using coal as the primary energy source for the future ... we have brains, and need to use them to develope the best, most efficient energy infrastructure possible ... corn does not meet the criterion as a sensible alternative ... it is pushed solely by vested interest for profit, similiar to the vested interest of the coal industry to deceive the general public on the reality of their industry.

"I happily support corn ethanol." Yup, that about sums it up.

The flip-flopping on this issue would make a good circus act. "And now, for your pleasure and amazement, I present a ring full of presidential candidates doing backward flips over ethanol! Watch it Hillary, don't crash into Fred!"

Other blogs are chastising John McCain for first being against ethanol subsidies, then for them, and now against them again. Fred Thompson has only gone through stages 1 and 2 so far.

Only the non-candidates (like Michael R. Bloomberg) and no-hopers (like Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich and ron Paul) seem to be willing to take a clear position against corn-ethanol subsidies.

Yeah but Ron Paul keeps pushing Hemp as a biofuel.

RonPaul: "OMG It's better than corn ethanol!"
GreyFlcn: "Yeah but it's worse than soy biodiesel."

And yes, thats the report you wrote Steenblik :P
