Obama's support for the environment seems contradictory to ethanol policy. Despite the fact that ethanol doesn’t seem to be the answer to our energy problems Obama is in favor, could this have to do with his grass roots being heavily influenced by Corn.
"Mr. Obama is running as a reformer who is seeking to reduce the influence of special interests. But like any other politician, he has powerful constituencies that help shape his views. And when it comes to domestic ethanol, almost all of which is made from corn, he also has advisers and prominent supporters with close ties to the industry at a time when energy policy is a point of sharp contrast between the parties and their presidential candidates."
