Corn ethanol plants wouldn't be standing without massive government subsidies. And the environmental "savings" are a wash at best, when one considers the resources needed to produce ethanol from corn (planting, harvesting, transporting, and mashing corn, then distilling and transporting ethanol) and the fact that the production process produces literally tons of CO2. There are your greenhouse gases. Also note that some companies, like Phibro, are trying to get antibiotics approved as HUMAN FOOD so they can continue to sell their products and make money. Think about that. Maybe soon you'll be able to sprinkle a little antibiotic on your fries along with salt. Corn is a very inefficient source of ethanol.

Now the eniviromentalist are saying that using corn to produce ethanol is creating green house gases. Am I hearing this correctly. Goverment has encouraged ethanol plants to be built.
