The governor is just going with the votes. There are more folks growing
corn for ethanol than flying GA in Iowa. Ethanol is the ultimate
political boondoggle as it costs more BTUs to manufacture than it
provides.

One of those have your cake and eat it things. No ethanol, no Iowa as
the farmers claim they need ethanol to prosper and make Iowa a "good"
place to live and work.

Today Rep. Jim Nussle -- potentially the future governor of Iowa --
was reported as proposing that all gasoline sold in Iowa be required
to contain 20% ethanol additive. Presumably, this legislation, if
passed, would make the sale of regular unleaded gasoline illegal in
Iowa.
