Bunge Executive Jumps Into the Ethanol Debate

By David Stokes on Sep 16, 2008

We have a new winner in the easiest-to-write blog post title contest. I deserve no praise, and am certainly no genius, for combining the corporation “Bunge” with the verb “jump.” Nonetheless, I simply must point out a great post by David Nicklaus over at Mound City Money concerning recent comments made by Bunge CEO Carl Hausmann about Missouri’s ethanol mandate. Check out the entry, and the comments, as well as the Show-Me Institute’s own contribution to the debate on ethanol. The highlight of Mr. Hausmann’s talk is clearly:

“I believe very much in free markets. … I hate government mandates, including biofuels.”

Beautiful.
