It's about damn time.
Actually it's way, way past time, but whatever.

I liked this part from the farmer that produces corn for ethanol:
Despite the increasingly negative public opinion on ethanol Schipper is just not ready to give up on it yet.
"Everything has turned on us, but ethanol is still a great thing," he said. "It's been good for us."
No it isn't a great thing you fucking moron. It's wildly, shamefully inefficient, awful for the planet, awful for the economy, awful for most taxpayers (excepting you and oil companies), and awful for the country. Get your shit together and grow food that people can eat. You only started growing the stuff in the first place because of artificial demand. Ugh.
