Isn't it sort of a exercise in stupidity to try and blame the current rise in food prices and food shortages on Ethanol?
Ethanol production has not even started yet? No one has yet completed any large scale production plants, E85 is not available anywhere that I have seen? As a matter of fact the only projects that are currently running are grower co-opts, that only serve the grower communities..You really have to reach far into your neuron storage space to make these connections. Maybe you should think more along the lines or Drought and "cowboy starter packages" , not to mention consolidation of refineries, and the possibilities of Peak Oil.
What a deal, close refineries, raise prices.

A reader asked:
"your post on ethanol"
Are you one them kooks who think this is a war for oil?"
I replied:
All wars are for oil, or some other resource but no, I'm not one of the kooks. I'm a pro war kook. Being Cuban American, you can count me in with any war to remove a dictator and bring democracy.
But it's a stated goal of this administration to guarantee the free flow of oil from Iraq to the world markets, so I'm not sure what you mean by "war for oil".
Another reason to invade Iraq is to bring the "crescent" into the modern world, and to establish an open over road corridor from China to the west and the ports of Pakistan. Sort of the modern version of the old silk road, which in the long run is worth more than just the oil. The way I heard it, it's going to have high voltage transmission lines, a rail way and a highway. But of course the only way something like that would work is if we bring order and modernity to the entire region. Iraq is just the gateway.
Of course these are all long term goals, in the short tern, we are there to "fight them there and not here" as you well know. Iraq was being used as a buffer state in a "flypaper" strategy to kill off as may jihadist as possible. Which of course was a very bad idea, and it's why we were losing the war. Luckily for us the grownup have taken over the strategy and are implementing a more sain idea of actually trying to bring some sort of modernity, or at a minimum stability to Iraq, and then help that spread to the region.
I hope there is an answer in there somewhere.
damn I knew I forgot something! The ethanol problem is a confluence of two enemies the "Big Oil" which is threaten by the biofuels, and by the sponsors of our enemies on the ground in Iraq like Chavez of Venezuela. They can not believe the fact that the Marines could not be beaten on the ground, They're sort of in a state of shock!! and so they are implementing Plan 2, an economic war to bring down the first world to it's knees.
They are trying to do with their money what they could not do with their arms...
Don't you feel good now that you know your helping our enemies win with their oil what they could not take from the Marines with their guns..
Today must be your day, play the lottery.
In my last message I referred to the "Crescent", but what I really meant to say was this...
THE PENTAGON’S NEW MAP
I haven't talked or even thought of it in years, and I could not have found this link in a million years today, then I talk about it to you, bingo, the link actually came to me in today's blogging...what are the odds
I just want you to know that Deputy Secretary of State Negroponte, just agreed with my assessment on the Charlie Rose show about drought being the biggest cause of food shortages and the rise in price..He somehow forgot to mention ethanol
