re: #39 Dark_Falcon

What makes you say that? The companies that produce ethanol are for the most part not the ones that handle natural gas exploration and production. And while corn futures were down (which like is giving some people who work at the Chicago Board of trade a bit of worry), natural gas futures rose higher than corn futures fell.

Your analysis does not seem to fit the facts.

Gee, try to think non-linearly once in a while. Ethanol mandates are cut from the same cloth as lobbyist inspired natural gas legislation currently wending their way through state legislatures right now.
