Like the Church Lady, Al Gore has just uttered "Never mind!" when it comes to his endorsement of ethanol added to gasoline. He says that he was running for President and basically needed farm votes, so he pushed ethanol. There is only so much land for corn production and it seems that corn grown for ethanol is competing with eating corn and food prices are going up as a consequence. It also makes a crappy fuel that decreases mileage and eats engine components. Obviously, all this was completely unpredictable, right? Well, no, but it's OK because Al was running for President. Sort of makes you wonder what else he has gotten wrong because he has some vested interest but hasn't yet told us. Let's see - I'm thinking melting glaciers, rising sea levels - wait, wait, it'll come to me!
