Big Corn may be approaching its saturation point:
Bush may have trouble matching proposals made by Democratic lawmakers and farm-state Republicans. Sens. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), Barack Obama (D-Ill.), Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.), Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) and Byron L. Dorgan (D-N.D.) have proposed raising to 60 billion gallons a year the amount of ethanol that [...]

Scenario two: De facto partition

Good to know I’m not the only one who thinks this is totally rad:
