by Michel Smith (Veshengro) It would appear that, in some way, the reason that everyone was getting all angry about ethanol in 2008 was all for the wrong reason. But, this year, a Congressional Budget Office report has concluded that only a small percentage of the increase in food prices was due to ethanol. But that doesn't mean we should all jump back on the ethanol bandwagon. The study says that ethanol production required about 861 billion gallons of water. MORE
