From New Scientist:

Ethanol fuel made from corn may be being “dangerously oversold” as a green energy solution according to a new review of biofuels.

The report concludes that the rapidly growing and heavily subsidised [they're Brits - what do they know about spelling!] corn ethanol industry in the US will cause significant environmental damage without significantly reducing the country’s dependence on fossil fuels.

Here’s a novel idea: maybe the government should just stop meddling in the energy market and let consumers decide.
