The midwest is in the middle of the worst drought in a half-century, destroying crops and pushing food prices higher. Despite the drought, ethanol plants continue to waste an average of 750,000 gallons of potable water EACH every day turning corn into ethanol.

Save the 70 cent per gallon subsidy paid to corporate farmers and big oil refiners, save millions of gallons of precious water, improve our cars' fuel economy by 15% and end this scam now.
