King Corn (2005)

Alan Alda: Senator Arnold Vinick

Quotes 

• Senator Arnold Vinick : Making a gallon of ethanol takes almost a gallon of oil. That's like saying using tonic water as an additive reduces our demand for gin.

• Bob Mayer : Will you at least look at the ethanol report?

  Senator Arnold Vinick : It's a classic study of a stupid policy rammed down our throats by special interests. Makes about as much sense as building patio furniture out of corn. But sure, I'll take a look.
