One of the more bizarre coalitions ever to form in Washington is trying to kill a creature of Washington: corn ethanol.
>>
>>The oil industry, environmentalists, taxpayer groups, livestock growers and foreign aid groups all want Congress to repeal the mandate requiring a 15 percent blend of ethanol in gasoline.
>>
>>More than 40 percent of the U.S. corn crop goes to ethanol, combining with a continuing Midwest drought to drive up corn prices. In a conference call Monday, refiners said it wrecks everything from car engines to outboard motors to chain saws.>
>The coalition is not bizarre at all when you consider the company pulling the strings behind all those puppets, Frito-Lay. After all, if 45% of US corn production is going into ethanol, that means only 55% is going into Doritos ;)
