The price of wheat has really gone up because of the big push towards corn based ethanol. The reality is that corn ethanol will seriously increase prices of food and do almost nothing to the prices of fuel. If for no other reason then that corn is a fertilizer greedy plant. And all those fertilizers come from fossil fuels. Mostly natural gas, but not exclusively. Add in the diesel fuel used in tractors, trucks and electricity used in refining the corn into ethanol and there's very little if any actual energy gain. But, the fields of wheat and soybeans are being planted with corn and the fields of corn are being turned into ethanol, not Doritos. All in all its pretty poor food and energy policy. My suggestion, boycott E85 fuel when and where you can and write your congressman to protest subsidies for ethanol fuel.
