In the lastest edition of Newsweek, columnist George F. Will heaps his scorn on the “government-driven mania” for biofuels, particularly ethanol. He notes that the U.S. has been driven to seek alternative supplies of stuff you can fill up the car with because the country is so heavily dependent on foreign suppliers like “turbulent Canada and militant Mexico”. He doesn't really back up the statement, but it's odd and a little alarming to see that Will, who represents a certain conservative orthodoxy in the Washington, assumes that things north of the border are “turbulent.”
