Newsweek has a little article about how biofuel from corn is affecting prices of other things. Beer: Bottom$ Up I think I'll contemplate fuel efficiency while I have a cold one...
Think carefully about this, after the humor wears off (except for those that consider this a serious matter). For just a miniscule percentage of ethanol in our total fuel needs, all kinds of economic ripple effects are being seen in EVERY Grocery Store. I have a funny feeling that the "spotlight" on the Prius is going to get brighter.
There have already been impacts, just not on the US Consumer. There have been noticeable corn shortages in Mexico - to the point of protests.
it's not just corn.. there's shipping costs and even meats (since you gotta feed the animals some how)
