Ethanolonomics

Re: [spiers] Ethanolonomics

Anthony,

My arrgument is fuel is fuel, no matter where it comes from, and I'd cast any
shortage or other
crisis as a misallocation problem, borne of govt meddling in the markets.

Anything that takes a subsidy cannot be a great idea, and any great idea does
not need a subsidy,
it would seem to me. We have no energy crisis, merely an asset misallocation.

We need freedom to solve these problem, and without it they will only grow
worse.
