Congressman King speaks at Quad County Corn Processors in Galva, Iowa today.
Jul 29, 2013
“It was an honor to speak today at the groundbreaking ceremony for Quad County Corn Processor’s new Adding Cellulosic Ethanol project,” said King. “This project has been three years in the making and the new facility will create more jobs and help sustain the economy. I have consistently said we should work to add value as close to the corn stalk as possible and that is exactly what is happening in Galva. They have found new ways to squeeze even more out of a bushel of corn and this is paving the way for new technology both here in Iowa and across the country.”

St. Paul, Minn. — Minnesota was the first state to require that all gasoline sold in the state contain 10-percent ethanol. Montana and Hawaii have passed similar laws, although they haven’t gone into effect yet. Pawlenty pushed for doubling Minnesota’s ethanol mandate to 20-percent by the year 2013. He says the events of the last few months have made it clear that the nation must reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.

Some of the most conservative members of Ohio’s congressional delegation have refused or declined to sign onto oil industry and Tea Party-backed initiatives that would end the ethanol mandate. Only one Ohioan, in fact, U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot of Cincinnati, has co-sponsored legislation to repeal the mandate, called the Renewable Fuel Standard.

I’m guessing they all consider themselves ‘conservatives’
The author of this article doesn’t know the difference between corn and corn stover. (neither of which is “burned” in producing ethanol, anyway).
