“So we grow in the range of about fourteen billion bushels of corn every year in the United States. Of that, last year, 38% of it went to ethanol that's being used for fuels. Which means that about 40% of the U.S. Corn crop meets about 10% of our motor gasoline…”

“This is the issue that we created with all of our ethanol subsidies. We grow a lot of corn, use it exclusively to Produce ethanol. I think generally that is viewed as having been a bad idea from a climate perspective, at least.”
