Fuelish

So where are those amber waves of grain going (tip to Instapundit)?

[One] of the simplest steps to help ensure that the world has enough to eat in 2050 would be to scrap every biofuel target. If all the American maize that goes into ethanol were instead used as food, global edible maize supplies would increase by 14%.

It would only help feed people and make our foreign policy easier, but when you have Green and agro-business lobbyists behind ethanol, we won't take that simple step.
