I looked but didn't find where the cut-over point is. Something tells
me that $90 oil is more expensive then unsubsidized E85? However I
couldn't find a recent link.

Around here E-85 is cheaper.

It's the price of diesel fuel. That stuff is delivered in trucks. Diesel

A bigger issue is the water supply in the Midwest. The Oglala Aquifer is
about 100 feet below normal levels because of all the guys using extra
water
to irrigate to grow corn for ethanol that will never sell. People are not
going to spend more for a gallon of E-85 than a gallon of regular gas.

Food prices seem to be rising at a breathtaking rate. The conventional
wisdom is that it's due to the shifting of corn into ethanol production,
but I can't understand why the price of a 12-ounce can of frozen orange
juice concentrate would jump from $1.99 to $2.55 in a two-week period.
Are we headed for the day when it will take a wheelbarrow full of money
to buy a loaf of bread?
The dollar is at an all-time low against all of the major currencies of
the world and sinking fast. The only thing that seems to be coming down
in price is plasma tv's, but how many of those can you buy? Scary.
