Ethanol causing deforestation in Amazon

The result of 'green' ethanol?

So, corn-based ethanol is driving food prices higher, sucking up lakes of clean water, poisoning groundwater, streams and rivers as it creates a dead zone in the lower Mississippi and Gulf of Mexico region, while stealing inches of some of the best soil in the world. As if that wasn't enough, corn-based ethanol is also causing deforestation in the the Amazon.

Good thing Congress is pumping tens of billions of dollars into corn based ethanol over the next few years.
