"Running cars on corn is about the stupidest thing I ever heard of.  Our government is under tremendous political pressure [to keep pushing and supporting corn ethanol] even though it makes no sense."  He goes on to state an unpopular view in Nebraska, "More energy is used producing ethanol than it creates and that's without considering the damage to the topsoil producing fuel when we could be producing food."  Munger further states that it's silly to drive up the price of food in order to provide an uneconomic fuel, as well as a dumb government policy. 

I have to say that it takes some guts to be against anything that drives up the price of corn.  Brave Mr. Munger, very brave.
