I agree that things should be done to limit pollution and foreign oil, but everything needs a balance or slow transition otherwise something else suffers.

"The U.S. Department of Agriculture's long-range projections indicate that large increases in ethanol production will drive corn prices up in the United States, while the expansion of biodiesel use in the European Union and Asia will raise global demand for vegetable oils. According to the USDA, corn prices will continue to advance through 2010. Corn prices are projected to ease after 2010 but will remain historically high."

So we pay more for food then gas instead. At least food is a necessity.
