Changes in farming practices have created distress for some bird species. Some farmers are now using land once set aside for conservation to plant more corn for use as ethanol.

I hope them fuckin greenies are happy now....Ethanol is a monster they created.....

It gets worse

MEXICO CITY - Mexican farmers are setting ablaze fields of blue agave, the cactus-like plant used to make the fiery spirit tequila, and resowing the land with corn as soaring U.S. ethanol demand pushes up prices

That's taking it too far when you start messing with the tequila supply!

this greenie thinks ethanol is a joke, and is no better than the oil we import now.. heck you still have to import oil to process the corn. it takes over a thousand gallons or water to make one gallon of corn ethanol. now the tequila will run out   so insead of big oil, we get big corn.. it has always suprised me how free energy like the sun, wind, water. is never really looked into with much real interest.
