But traditionally-grown corn = evil...
Aren't there all kinds of issues with ethanol, like it takes more energy to create it than it saves, and it's not a clean-burning element? Also, if the corn they're growing isn't sustainable/pesticide-free, it's such an evil cycle.
Corn farmers aren't paid enough, millions in gov't subsidies (read: our tax dollars) actually pay them...and the pesticides and fertilizers used are horrible for the ecosystem and the PEOPLE WHO LIVE DOWNSTREAM.
Think, people, think...and learn as much as you can! Don't be fooled...
