In today's news, Ford Motor Co. reportedly is backing off its hybrid production goals to focus on multi-fuel/flexfuel models instead down the line, like those that run on E85. I'm just reading between the lines here, but if a major American car manufacturer is aiming to build more cars that can use ethanol, I think it's a safe bet that its lobbyists will be pushing Congress and the White House hard to promote the build out of an ethanol infrastructure. If they can tie oil companies into the process somehow, like piggybacking and paying to use their infrastructure and distribution channels, then that's a lot of political clout pointing in the same direction.
