Maybe, you should read what I said. I said that I am lucky because in my state we have 500 E-85 stations and the price of corn based products has not gone up as a result. What happens in your state I don't give a rat's a$$. In fact, I hope your state never sees the light of E-85. The price of E-85 in my state is $2.09 per gallon. Oh yeah, the price for a 20 ounce box of corn flakes is $1.99 in my state and the price of 93% lean ground beaf is $1.99 per pound. I hope only a handful of states use E-85 while the rest can continue with your oil.

The Brazilians know all about this. They took a short term hit for the long term benefit. The longer we rely on petroleum the further we get behind.
We will soon realize that we should have taken the trillion dollars we have tossed away in Iraq and instead invested in a Manhattan Project style project to resolve our energy needs. Have we lost our edge in innovation? Do Americans no longer believe we can solve these problems? Instead we have invested in protecting and controlling oil supplies that don't even belong to us. This will insure we are at the mercy of OPEC and the oil speculators for decades to come. The large oil companies will still get rich importing and refining this oil creating a continued disincentive for them to expand into alternative energy sources.
