Without sounding like a total conspiracy theorist, I have noticed that more and more gas stations are installing ethanol pumps. While I am all for this for the sake of the environment, the switch-over to corn-based fuels is highly corporate. The idea, it seems, is to install more ethanol pumps, keep only a few gasoline pumps, force people to buy ethanol cars, and hike up the gasoline prices. This will only make life very difficult for the middle class, who cannot afford the gas prices or the new cars. I suppose I am seeing this shift, getting a little nervous about its financial impact in the near future, and looking for a way to prepare so to speak.

Any other suggestions, research, comments, out there?

Thank you.
