ethanol from grain is a bad joke
Ethanol from grain is a bad joke. You get less energy per gallon that it takes to produce it!. An honest farmer (I come from the farm) will tell you that is ridiculous boondoggle. Heck, compare your gas mileage between the summer and winter blends. It is a wonderful way for large ag companies (think ADM) and for the petroleum distribution companies to make money. Everybody else loses.

Crocodile tears
The government of this country under Mugabe has destroyed agricultural production. Before Mugabe forced the land redistribution program in 2000, Zimbabwe was a net exporter of agricultural products - corn, cotton, wheat, coffee,... Now their people are starving. The country now has 585% inflation rate. You reap what you sow. Get rid of Mugabe, then maybe the country has a chance.
