Is Iowa an ethanol producer?
Yes. How about Wisconsin? I don't see how this has anything to do with my statements, nothing I said was false or not already known to most people. These are two fuels best left separate. Unless the US finds a cheaper and more efficient method to produce ethanol (away from corn), ethanol will never be a viable long term solution.
