But, the crops being grown for fuel will take away from food production! That is getting vital and I don't believe in all this green "cRAP"!
bUT i DO REALIZE WE NEED TO MAKE THEM CHOKE ON THEIR OIL!
Anne, I like your COMMITMENT! The good news is that producing alcohol fuels will not take away from food production. One of the reasons ethanol was produced in the first place is because American farmers were producing so much food, it was depressing the price of grain all over the world, putting farmers out of business.
They tried to find other uses for this abundant excess, and ethanol was one of their solutions.
In addition, this bill puts methanol on equal footing. Methanol can be made from just about anything.
The reason many of us think making fuel will raise food prices is because the oil industry spent millions in a public relations campaign in 2008 to give us that impression. The idea has been thoroughly debunked, but the debunking didn't have nearly as much money behind its promotion. Read more about it here.

The theory that ethanol is affecting the price of food is a myth. The price of food is going up around the world because of two reasons: 1) more people coming out of poverty and eating more expensive food, and 2) the price of oil. OPEC loves to say alcohol fuels are responsible for it, though... all the way to the bank.
