Oil companies blackmail (extort?) the american people over Ethanol.

[Bill]

So, the oil companies say - we won't build new refineries cuz you americans support ethanol...

"A push from Congress and the White House for huge increases in biofuels, such as ethanol, is prompting the oil industry to scale back its plans for refinery expansions. That could keep gasoline prices high, possibly for years to come."

The free market is dead, much to the celebration of the American people. Big government runs the show now. Whichever companies line the pockets of the politicians will get their way.
