Ethanol sparks more than engines

There's a big debate about whether ethanol is a sustainable biofuel. Granted, that article likes to generalize and completely leave out the fact there are other biofuels (such as human excrement), and borders on fear mongering, but nevertheless makes a very valid point.

Ethanol, which is made from corn, increased the demand for corn, and is therefore increasing the price of all corn-related products. One of these products is milk, since cow feed is supposedly made from corn. (I don't know why - cows are supposed to eat grass)

To me this is all basic economics, and people are just griping about a temporary problem. In all eventuality, more corn will be produced to meet the demand, with other biofuels to supplement ethanol with more efficient production methods.
