Except it is not the oil companies doing it, and it is not cheaper. It is the corn (and farm) lobby selling it as a renewable alternative. Governments take it on because it appears to be a renewable alternative. It actually costs more to make.....they subsidized the stuff initially here in Manitoba, but now we pay the full price for an inferior (and harmful) product.
When it comes to gasoline and diesel, when you think about it,we are quite spoiled by the price. These days, you pay more for a liter of drinkable water than you do for a liter of fuel here.
