It's time to kill corn subsidies and go Brazilian

From Canada, an article discussing the benefits of killing off subsidies and using some of that Brazilian sugar cane ethanol. It's cheaper and better for the environment. Three days later, a Trevor Giles weighs in saying that with that plan, you'd be increasing deforestation and that "if governments simply toughened up fleet emission standards for cars by 10 per cent in North America, ethanol wouldn't be needed."

Somewhat off topic, I wonder what this year's corn palace theme be?
