"In a commentary in the Wall Street Journal this month, Lugar explained the economics of ethanol research and production. He noted that if you add up the $50 billion-a-year cost of military spending for safeguarding Mideast oil fields, damage to the nation's security from enriching troublesome 'petro-states' such as Iran or Venezuela, and the contribution of burning fossil fuels to pollution and global warming, along with the more than $2-a-gallon price of gas, 'oil is neither cheap nor easy.'"
