    Well first of all we don’t have a health care system in this country. Hopefully that’s one of the things that will happen with the new president. When you talk to small businesses, large businesses, people that have their own business, they all agree, most of the people I talk to agree, that we really do need a healthcare system in this country. Hopefully that will be started on this next year, and we can get it accomplished, but its gonna take a little while to make it happen. Reporter: What about the whole question of cost, which your Republican colleagues will definitely bring up?

  • Question:

    Do you think that US government support for corn-based ethanol will adversely affect the poor in developing countries through rising food prices and, if so, what will you do to avoid that outcome?

    Ethanol may play a role in fuel alternatives, but we simply can not grow our way out of this energy crisis. We are going to have to look at all kinds of fuel alternatives. And the problem with a corn based fuel supply is that it is used not only for fuel but is used for food around the world. It also helps feed our livestock and its used for glue. It is used for so many different things that I think it is not going to be one of the energy fuels of the future.
