Ethanol May Kill Arctic Drilling in U.S. Energy Bill

Yikes. I'm against drilling in ANWR -- it's a frigging wildlife refuge, people! It's in the name! -- but now, I don't know. I have a few rules in politics, and one of them is, "Find what side Archer Daniels Midland is on, and then get on the other."

Ethanol is stupid; it takes more energy to grow, harvest, and refine than it produces. Maybe someday we'll find a better way, and we should experiment, but right now it's nothing but a farm subsidy.

I don't think we need either ANWR drilling or ethanol.
