According to this article at THESTAR.COM movie contracts for popcorn are set to expire soon and renewal contracts will be dramatically higher.
The unbelievable thing to me about this is - people think they are saving money by buying this alternative fuel. It also baffles me as to why ANYONE would use ethanol when it achieves 15% less in fuel efficiency.

It's not a money-savings issue; its a dependence-on-foreign-oil issue. People are jumping on the ethanol bandwagon for two reasons: first, if we can get away from dependence on foreign oil the oil barons have less sway. Second, there is a chance that someone will figure out a way to make ethanol a more efficient fuel or figure out how to modify engines to use if more efficiently.
People like that it is less polluting and more eco-friendly. Some rumors that are somewhat disturbing is that it takes a certain amount of fuel to MAKE this fuel. I have heard that it uses almost as much fuel to make it as it products; i.e. it takes nearly a gallon of fuel to make a gallon of ethanol. If that is true, that makes little sense and I would be interested to see if it is true or not.
