Big Oil v. Ethanol



In July 2007, the Consumer Federation of America released a report by Mark Cooper that went into great detail on the struggle occurring between ethanol and big oil. This isn't anything new but is well worth the read if you haven't already done so.

Also in July 2007, Mark Cooper did an interview with OnPoint in which he further explained the above report. Again this isn't anything new either, but it is something that I just ran across today and has interesting additional information.
