The deeper problem here is that there *many* senators and reps from
farm states who have strong political needs to promote ethanol. A
deeper problem even than that is that Iowa is a swing state that could
decide the election. It is relatively difficult to imagine that
anybody is going to make a strong statement against King Corn in that
situation, although I would be delighted to be wrong. The real test
will not be what happens between now and November, but whether the
next president will have enough political capital to fix what's wrong
with the policy.
