Price Of Corn Rises...So Does Dairy

How are we going to combat blistering summer heat caused by Garotzuva if we can't afford a single scoop of Ice Cream?
But I am sure many environmentalist would rather have us switch to a soy based ice cream anyway.

Money Quote:
"The amount of energy required to produce more energy is so inefficient
that we are going backwards in our efficient consumption."

Excellent point. Most people don't realize that it takes three gallons of
water to produce one gallon of ethanol, at the plant. Add to that the amount of
water it takes to grow corn, coupled with more and more acres of corn being
planted because of its inflated price, and we'll all see an already overstressed
Ogallah Aquifer in the plains continue to be depleted.
