The possibilities for corruption are immense. Archer Daniels Midland (Americas largest agribusiness) has successfully lobbied for ethanol requirements for gasoline, and the resulting demand for ethanol is already leading to large increases in corn prices and associated hardship in the developing world (not to mention poorer car performance).

I loved that part of the story, we get to add that idiot to the list of people to blaim for gas prices being so high right now.  Could probably put him really high up the list also.  Higher food prices because less food is being grown to make ethanol and the increase demand for ethanol to put in our gas causes the price of it to go up.
