Never mind all the other reasons why it's lunacy to rely upon ethanol as an alternative to fossil fuels -- the pollution, the expense, the cost -- gosh, what would happen if some devastating storms came and flooded our farmlands and ruined the corn crop? What then, we switch from $4.50/gal gasoline to $5.00/ethanol AND won't be able to afford to eat anymore either?

Good deal. Not.

EDIT to add link to pics -- check out number 5. There's your dinner AND your next tankful.
