The Ethanol Mandate...

The ethanol mandate is idiotic and should be scrapped.  Not waived, or delayed, but killed.

Making fuel from food crops is basically a price support (read: corporate welfare) for corn farmers, at the expense of other consumers of corn.  The much anticipated cellulosic ethanol production that President George W. Bush anticipated when he signed the mandate has not materialized.  

In other words, we all pay more for food, so we can put ethanol in our gas, and make some farmers more money.
