What with the flooding and all, the corn crop seems to be in dire
jeopardy.

Maybe that will reduce the amonut of ethenol in the gas supply for a
while?

It seems almost goulish to say it; but, yes, I believe that it will
reduce
the supply.

Yep. The price will go up, and the gas companies will import even more
ethanol.

Some government bureaucrat will notice this, and say, "Gee, it's costing
people
more money and increasing our reliability on foreign suppliers." They'll
immediately suspend all laws requiring ethanol in motor gasoline and
rescind all
gas-company incentives for selling it.

Then Santa Claus will join forces with the Easter Bunny to develop new
distribution systems for the non-alcohol gasoline, with the full
assistance of
an assembly of honest politicians.....
