Are the days of Ethanol numbered??

ADM, Archer Daniels Midland, and other big agricultural companies are lobbying, paying big money, to support this. The politicians in the corn growing states are courting the corn state votes so it isn't going away. There is too much money swapping hands. The environmentalists love it because it helps the earth. The users of ethanol in gasoline don't like it but they don't get to vote the congressman and senators in the corn states out of office and it isn't a hot button item in the presidential elections. We can only hope to hold the line at 10% and not let it go to 15%. The outboard manufacturers say they won't warranty an engine that has run 15% ethanol.
